Description:... The story of a High Church clergyman's son who became a West End matinee idol, and only at the age of twenty-eight determined to make himself a great Shakespearean actor, which he did in one season at the Old Vic. Laurence Olivier is a complex and unexpected portrait of a man tormented by his own ruthless genius and guilt.
