Description

the later sir laurence olivier stars in this emmy award winning production of shakespeare's king lear. critically acclaimed as "... a performance as great as anything he has ever done in his illustrious acting career." king lear proved to be olivier's final major screen roll.
king lear is a violent storm on a grand scale. it is a timeless tale of greed and lust for power. it is the story of a sick old man, his scheming children and lost loyalties. king lear is arguably shakespeare's greatest work, masterfully adapted for the screen by sir laurence olivier; unquestionably one of the greatest actors of the twentieth century.
