| Publisher Description: "Sir Laurence Olivier in Spain" details why the British actor and director Laurence Olivier (1907-1989) chose 'those stunted Spanish trees and the silver grass' in the Madrid environs to shoot part of his film "Richard III" in 1954. Despite its secrecy, and thanks to certain sources such as Olivier's personal diaries, some secrets about the shooting are revealed. Several interviews given by Olivier and his then-wife, the actress Vivien Leigh, to the Spanish press in 1954 and during his later visit in 1957, provide additional details. |
