Bought as a gift. The film is very good, well-acted, but not really to my taste.

I watched the play in the 1960s. It was very good then, the film version is very good now. Its a film of the period. People were more human then and less 'woke' Times have changed, mainly for the worse. DVD and case are in good condition.

Olivier's superb self-parody backed by a very impressive cast makes this a performance to treasure.

Considering the range of his career, this film is one of many in which this stalwart of the british stage gives an all commanding performance. Joan Plowright too is touching, especially as she was to become his wife in real life. There is a seedy charm as John Osborne weaves a tale of desperation and sadness in the character of Archie Rice. One thing has to be said though; not all actors are like Archie Rice and that includes Olivier!
