"Everything That A Great Picture Should Have!" -Daily Telegraph

Academy Award® winner Charles Laughton brilliantly captures the inner turmoil of the passionate 17th-Century genius in "probably the finest acting performance ever recorded on celluloid" (The Observer)!

In Amsterdam of 1642, master painter Rembrandt Van Rijn (Charles Laughton) enjoys a rich, full life in a beautiful, blinding, swirling mist of fame and fortune. But with the sudden death of his beloved wife and muse, his work takes a dark, sardonic turn that quickly offends even his most loyal patrons. Bankrupt and bereft, he finds comfort in the arms of pretty, young Hendrickje (Elsa Lanchester), a servant in his home. Now, offered a surprising second chance at love, will he summon the courage to overcome his demons, or will tragedy continue to haunt one of the greatest painters who ever lived?
