The Entertainer PG

From one of the greats of Britain’s ‘Angry Young Men’ movement, John Osborne; Look Back in Anger is adapted to a different setting  and transported to 1960s Morecombe.  As the age of Music Hall fades away, so too does the talent, fortunes and scruples of Archie Rice (Laurence Olivier).  A fantastic portrait of a man’s demise, and the subsequent collapse of his family, due to his reluctance or perhaps his inability to change.  Three generations of family are at odds as alcohol, adultery and war combine to create an untenable situation where something’s got to give.
