Mr. Korda was, in my opinion, an overrated director, who concentrated too much on framing and style, and not enough on creating believable scenes in a film. He never really made a good film. This one is passable only because of the cast of the husband and wife team of Charles Laughton and Elsa Lancaster (Bride of Frankenstein; no relation). Getrude Lawrence, star of stage, never really made the transition to film, and is also featured. Story of the life of Rembrandt. If you have trouble sleeping, you might want to view this one late at night.
