Laurence Olivier portrayed characters that were as diverse as they were memorable. From Hamlet to Heathcliff, from a Nazi dentist in "Marathon Man" to a cunning mystery writer in "Sleuth" his roles made him one of the most highly acclaimed actors of all time. This book celebrates his career, including casts, credits, synopses and production notes from every movie in which he appeared. Photographs illustrate the text, with rare candids borrowed from Olivier collectors. The introduction captures the essence of his private life and not-so-private marriages to Jill Esmond, Viven Leigh and Joan Plowright.
