Anecdotes
According to the April 21, 1958, edition of Time Magazine, as an addendum to its cover story on Sir Alec Guinness, in 1957, Sir Laurence Olivier turned down a Hollywood offer of two hundred fifty thousand dollars for one movie. Instead of making the movie and pocketing the cash, Olivier preferred to take on the role of Archie Rice in this movie (a role written specifically for him) at the Princely sum of forty-five pounds sterling per week.

"The Entertainer" is a fascinating film based on the play by John Osborne ("Look Back in Anger"); Osborne co-wrote the screenplay.

Olivier plays Archie Rice, a fading entertainer in a fading medium (music halls) in a fading empire (the Suez crisis of 1956 figures into the action).

Archie's speech to his daughter (Joan Plowright), onstage in an empty theater, about being dead behind his eyes, is especially memorable.

Along with other fine actors, Alan Bates and Albert Finney as his sons flesh out this film, which is a must-see for fans of any of these actors.
