Not even Olivier himself has ever assembled in one production a cast equal to the one between these covers. Here, the most versatile and possibly the most accomplished actor of this century, is depicted and assessed by an all-star cast, including Noel Coward, John Gieguld, Peter Glenville, Alec Guinness, Tyrone Guthrie, Margaret Leighton, Merle Oberon, John Osborne, Terence Rattigan, Michael Redgrave, Tony Richardson, Sybil Thorndike, and Emlyn Williams, among others, both American and British. What these actors, directors, and playwrights bestow upon us is a many-sided view of a superb artist at work, though there is much as well about Olivier the man. Crowning the work is a diadem of photographs spanning a heterogeneous career, and not least, Olivier's own maiden speech in the House of Lords, in which he speaks -in cadences worthy of the language- of the theatre as "the first glamourizer of thought." No student of the theatre, artist, or member of Olivier's vast audience will want to deny himself the pleasure of this celebration. - Free shipping anywhere in the USA. - Please, email me to ask any question.
