Interesting article in today's Guardian about how Sir Larry managed to be paid the equivalent of £460,000 for not making any films while Henry V was doing the...
'Not surprisingly, given the film's subject and an atmosphere of wartime patriotism, he also agreed to remain a British citizen and resident and not run off to...
Actually there *was* controversy during the war about some actors' reluctance to get actively involved. In hindsight we may feel that Olivier's contribution to...
I *never* said there was no controversy about actors' - and other artists - involvment in the war. That's a well known fact. I was responding to a news story...
... I didn't detect a sneer, and I think you've missed the point a bit since the key issue is that he was paid tax-free for doing nothing. What paper do you ...
BTW every other newspaper mentioned the point in the contract about Olivier not becoming an American citizen and with exactly the same note of astonishment...
The sneer is in taking a rider from the contract and writing it as 'so long as he didn't go running off to America'. In that arrangement of words there is an...
Thanks Michael. We'll keep an eye on that leading up to the release date (22md May) I already have it with Q Planes (Olivier, Richardson, Val Hobson) on a ...
Thanks for posting this, Nicky. It's a familiar 'exclusion' clause even with actors today, and it's easy to imagine why the powers that be would look unkindly...

The film society at the BICC research laboratories at Shepherd's Bush ran from 1954 to 1987. Even though I was involved in running it for much of that time,...

Don't think I've seen this mentioned here: new CD reissue of the Red Shoes soundtrack, on (bizarrely enough) Cherry Red records offshoot El Records. Press...
The original of that one was on a 9" LP (as opposed to the usual 12") with the music from TRS on one side and Horoscope on the other side. It's performed by...
Interesting. Presumably the CD cover is that of the original 9" release, in that case. I'm surprised the press release doesn't mention that in the 1980s El ...
