Poll question: Charles Laughton vs Sydney Greenstreet

Choose

[Faygo Kid]

1. Tough. Very tough.

Both great character actors. Went with Laughton by a hump.

[NYCGirl]

2. Both great. I'll give Laughton the vote because of his direction of NIGHT OF THE HUNTER.

And his performance in ADVISE AND CONSENT.

3. Laughton, two reasons

First he really was a better actor. Greenstreet was great but really playing the same part more or less. Laughton had range,

Second: he directed Night of the Hunter. Only movie he ever directed and that's a pity.
