Inhalt: |
Osborne saw himseIf as a lone voice screaming protest against successive governments destroying England. But this protest was maintained at a terribIe cost. He made an epic journey from the most successful playwright of his generation to a forIorn and aImost forgotten figure. A unique aspect of this film is the recent discovery of extracts from some of the original stage performances of Osborne's most famous plays - materiaI of great historical importance not seen for aImost 40 years. This documentary features footage of Laurence OIivier in The Entertainer; Albert Finney in Luther; NicoI WilIiamson in InadmissibIe Evidence; and Jill Bennett in A Patriot for Me featuring a young John Osborne as Reid. |
