Capital Celluloid 2018 - Day 322: Wed Nov 28

The Entertainer (Osborne, 1960): Regent Street Cinema, 12pm & 3.30pm


Chicago Reader review:
Laurence Olivier gives one of his most affecting screen performances in Tony Richardson's 1960 film about a seedy song-and-dance man on the seaside-resort circuit whose selfishness and nastiness ruin the lives of everyone around him. Excellent support from Alan Bates, Albert Finney, and Joan Plowright, but Richardson's direction drags more than a bit; adapted by John Osborne and Nigel Kneale from Osborne's play.
