Oh my gosh, I know! Probably one of the main reasons I can't stand Charles Laughton in that film--his make-up is so hideous, I can hardly bear to look at him. His eyebrows are way too high for one thing, and they remind me of two caterpillars! And it looks like he's wearing false teeth too, which make him talk funny. That "Fifty Worst Films of All Time" book refers to him as looking like "Sir Humphrey Dumpty"! I don't understand what the purpose of making someone who already "had a complex about his appearance," to quote his friend Emlyn, look so ugly? And as producer, he had the ultimate decision-making power! (It was the first movie I ever saw him in, and I was surprised to find out later in "Vessel of Wrath" that he really wasn't so bad looking.)

Ern Westmore is credited as the make-up artist. He worked on a number of films between 1925 and 1951 but no others that I recognize. Oh wait, there is one title I know: "The Moon and Sixpence"--only because Cyril Cusack was in the stage version. Here's his filmography: <a rel=nofollow target=_blank href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0922865/">http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0922865/</a>

MY MOM CALLS HIM HUMPHREY DUMPTY!!!!! I LAUGHED OUT LOUD WHEN I READ THAT!!!
And really, he was an ugly man at all, they just made him that way. I don't know why. I mean, he's not like drop dead gorgeous (like Jem) but he wasn't ugly, UGLY.
