@marbeque Well, you have to remember that this was 1965, only one year after the Civil rights Act was signed into law. Up to then Othello had been played mostly by white actors in blackface. John Gielgud (!) and Ralph Richardon (!) played him in blackface, and Placido Domingo sings the operatic Otello in blackface.

@teflonproduction yes. yes it is
-
This greatest of actors was acting and made - up in the accepted way of his time.
He gave the greatest performance of Othello ever know at the time - and after many of the performances the audience waked out in silence, so powerful and life changing was Olivier's acting. Please don't judge his performance by what we accept now - he was at the time the greatest stage actor in the world and so we see it here.

@teflonproduction Yep- Lawrence Olivier in blackface. Better blackface than usual, though.
-
@dianarrig: Can you put the whole movie on YouTube? After this I really want to see it.
-
Great acting... It's kind of odd seeing Maggie so young. I love it!!
-
@icaughtfire93 LMAO!!!!

no black actor has ever lived that can play the part so well as olivier - and very few white ones - since shakespeare wrote the part - for a white man to play. all black actors in the part have failed miserably and have been violently upstaged by iago.

It's Laurence Olivier and it's from the film starring Olivier and Maggie Smith.
