Olivier: I'm going to love her up from hell to breakfast!!! 😂😂😂😂 have mercy.., I would have broke character .... Olivier dressed as colonel sanders talking about sex has got to be the greatest moment in television history!
How very right, any scene with Robert "Dick" Wagner is unwatchable, not worth a second from this one-directional actor, how dare he called himself an actor....Thank UUUUUUUU
I saw this on TV first run and only now see it again for the first time since then and still find it largely preposterous. There is so much that is misconceived about Olivier's performance that it's not worth beginning to go into. Still, feeling nasty as I do, I can't resist mentioning the makeup and accent as they seem perversely designed for a vaudeville parody of the play.
I can't believe how bad Robert Wagner is. It's laughable....his Southern accent comes & goes. Mr Olivier was a great actor but he's woefully miscast here. The character of Big Daddy should be played by a large man....like Burl Ives, who originated the role on Broadway (thank heavens he recreated his role in the 1958 MGM film version). Sorry to say, Olivier's accent is shaky at times too....

He looks orange to much tango lol
Be kind to the departed won't you?
Olivier loved American playwrights, he also did Long Days Journey into Night by Eugene O'Neil.
Olivier owns.
The best and the worst actor in the history of movies together in the same scene! Wow!
Ha ! Robert Wagner is horribly miscast. No way would he have been cast in this production if he wasn't Natalie Woods' husband.
Sir Larry Olivier's general southerny-ess in ON POINT. Wow.
God, Big Daddy's lines are cut half away!
Yet there are many more than in the famous film

Robert Wagner was always called RJ, never "Dick."
And Olivier looks like he is playing Shakespear's Othello........Only Big Mama and Maggie are perfectly cast. GotIt????
I agree 100 per cent.

I wish the accents would go & stay gone. Nothing worse than a fake southern accent!
