  • Laurence Olivier: A Life. Part 1 & 2 (South Bank Show 1982) The Full Documentary. Originally aired on October 17th, 1982, on ITV. Widely regarded as the most famous South Bank episode, and probably the most in-depth interview ever held with Olivier. In post, I cropped it a little then coloured it as best I could and added a LUT, the original video was covered in watermarks and overexposed with very little colour. It runs for approximately 2 hours 35 minutes.

    The interview itself is a master class in the art and technique of acting.

    I wouldn't necessarily say that Olivier is the best actor of all time but he's the one I admire the most.

    These actors were a special type, Gielgud Ralph Richardson Olivier they were considered exceptional even by other very successful actors of the time
    But to me Olivier took the whole thing to another dimension of genius and magic

    He was a very kind man as well, and grew into being an actor during a time which was unlike any other. Of course, made a bewildering catastrophe of some parts he played, mainly because he was rarely with director who knew how to talk to him. Then, when his totally unsung friend, Donald McKechnie, helped him start the National Theatre, he did his best stage work. And if you've seen Gene Hackman or John Malkovich (and I mean whenacting on the stage) you'll have seen the same Godly power. John.

    How shamefully the NT treat him in the end, how well he took the ritual humiliating speech and presentation by that creep Hall. Great acting or what.

    For an intelligent man Bragg is sometimes a pedantic dunce when it comes to the arts he has fronted. The urge to journalistically anatomise style is like cutting up a worm to find out how it works. You've found out how it works but all you are left with is a dead worm cut up into parts. It is no longer wriggling and alive. It is merely a mortified specimen. Art is mystique, that's why we love it.

    I don’t get Laurence Olivier. I get Peter O’Toole, Richard Burton and Gielgud but not Olivier. It’s strange to see at the beginning R Donat an Olivier together since Hitchcock first choice to play the male part in Rebecca was Donat.
