Inhalt: |
Osborne saw himself as a lone voice screaming protest against successive governments destroying EngIand. But this protest was maintained at a terrible cost. He made an epic journey from the most successful pIaywright of his generation to a forlorn 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 pIays - 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; Nicol Williamson in InadmissibIe Evidence; and JiIl Bennett in A Patriot for Me featuring a young John Osborne as Reid. |
