I assume you meant The Old Dark House, one of James Whale's best films.
Totally agree with your comment regarding Laughton's work. I can't think of any performance of his that I haven't liked.
A favourite is Billy Wilder's often under rated Witness For The Prosecution, in particular his scenes with the marvellous Elsa Lanchester.
