Laurence Olivier on “Cinema” with Michael Parkinson
Michael Parkinson, one of Britain’s most famous TV broadcasters and journalists, had a chat series called Parkinson that started in 1971. Prior to this, he hosted Cinema on Granada television, in which he interviewed actors about their film careers. His first star interview was with Laurence Olivier in 1969. The interview looks like it was conducted in Olivier’s house, judging from the background.
This is a wonderful discussion that shows how charming and intelligent Larry was. It is interesting to hear him talk about his film career, as we know cinema was not his favorite medium.

the interview was filmed at his national theatre office in aquinas street. the offices and rehearsal rooms were nothing more than huts. they were known to leak i believe. i’m sure it was in 1970. he didn’t enjoy making films in the early days but he always stated that directing and producing a film was his favourite occupation, the most creative.
Ah, thanks for clarifying where it was filmed!
