I was and still am a great admirer of Laurence Olivier, I really like his Shakespeare films Richard 111, Henry V. and Hamlet, all made between 1944 and 1956. All three of these films in which he appeared were not only great acting by Olivier but he produced and directed them and got together such a great cast I think. Olivier brought Shakespeare to the masses I became a lover of classical acting and Shakespeare because of his film. I have read that during the second world war he was a British agent working for the British government trying to over turn the Nazi's and Hitler, if he was I have even more admiration for him to rid the world of the evils of National socialism. Laurence Olivier was handsome, and had a lovely speaking voice he could act in my opinion, he was so diverse in his acting skills, when he died it was the end of an era regarding great classical acting.
