In the biography of Elizabeth Barrett an error has crept in. In the 1934 film
"The Barretts of Wimpole Street" the role of Elizabeth's stern father, Edward, was not played by Charles Laughton as stated, but by Sir John Gielgud.

There isn't an error. Charles Laughton did play the father in the1934 film of The Barretts of Wimpole Street, but John Gielgud played him in the remake in 1956.Originally Posted by organist

Was Elizabeth Barret Browning's father really as much a tyrant in real life as he was pictured in the movie?
