  • Summary: THE ENTERTAINER - Laurence Olivier stars in this outstanding film marking the collaboration of Olivier, playwright John Osborne, and director Tony Richardson. The adaptation of Osborne's stage play is dominated by Olivier's monumental performance, for which he was nominated for an Academy Award. In one of his favourite roles, Olivier portrays Archie Rice, a down-and-out vaudeville performer in a seedy coastal resort. A visit by his daughter (John Plowright) precipitates an emotional crisis which rocks the family with drunken fights, painful memories of better times, and bitter arguments over the current state of affairs. The highly-charged, intense and powerful drama boasts performances from an exceptional cast, including Alan Bates and Albert Finney, and brought to prominence noted director Tony Richardson ('Tom Jones').
