#ManCrushMonday Charles Laughton in "St. Martin's Lane" (Sidewalks of London) (1938)


Charles Staggers is just a "busker" on the streets of London with an affinity for reciting soliloquies. One night after a "show" with his two friends and business partners, fate intervenes when he meets a runaway and pickpocket (Vivien Leigh) who tries to steal from a famous songwriter (Rex Harrison). Liberty is immediately brought into his "entertainment world" until she is discovered by the same songwriter she stole from just when Charles is going to ask her to marry him. Charles falls into alcoholism and obscurity, watching the woman he loves become a famous actress.
