Robert Newton was hilarious in this film as 'Pistol'. People forget what a great comedian he could be. Shame he died at only 50 due to his problems with drinking.

Robert Newton is hilarious in this scene. People forget what a great actor/comedian he could be. Sad that he destroyed himself with drink and died at only 50.

prefer kenneth Branagh

@xlntjames performances like this were deemed as 'talented' by the elite classes who regularly went to theatres and enjoyed watching leaders and kings portrayed as speaking and acting 'like them.'
There is not an ounce of realism or believability in this particular delivery.
Olivier was talented yes, very talented, but that kind of performance wouldn't get past audition today.

in the description you spelt fifth wrong... man i hate english essays...

This does sure as hell not look like Northern Europe.

@xlntjames it's not a soliloquy. It's a monologue. There is a big difference...a soliloquy isn't heard by the other characters.
-
@Vindog76 I totally agree. To reiterate my comment under Branagh's version: I would have followed him right into France, I wouldn't have followed Olivier to the salad bar.

@JDev82 He was brilliant in Richard III, one of the best performances I have seen

@exiledred77 Olivier was a very talented actor, this soliloquy was very well delivered I think you are being way too harsh!
