Laurence Olivier interview with Kenneth Tynan (Great Acting 1966) Part 5

[Loumademe]

Yes, excellent clip. His point about the power of the permanent ensemble vs. the star system is spot on and still plagues Broadway (for example) today. Thanks.

This is the best part of the interview.For the first time Olivier's responses seem unrehearsed and more natural,perhaps because the subject is something other than his performances.Lovely reference to Sid Field.
