Welcome to Reel Britannia-a very British podcast about very British movies ...with just a hint of professionalism.    Classic kitchen sink drama this week from John Osborne and Tony Richardson featuring an all-star British cast headed by Laurence Olivier  The Entertainer (1960)  London schoolteacher Jean Rice (Joan Plowright) returns to her seaside resort hometown at a time of personal crisis. Her father, Archie (Laurence Olivier), is a star on the music hall circuit, but, in the television age, that old-fashioned entertainment is dying out. His second wife, Phoebe (Brenda De Banzie), is openly contemptuous of her husband's many affairs, and his son, Mick (Albert Finney), is a soldier fighting in the Suez. Despite Archie's unflagging optimism, tragic events unfold.    “You were a pretty little thing. Not that looks are important - not even for a woman. You don't look at the mantelpiece when you poke the fire. “    You can find this and all our previous episodes at:  Amazon Music  Apple Podcasts  Libsyn  Player FM  Podtail  Owltail  ListenNotes    Follow us on Twitter @rbritanniapod  Join us over at our Facebook Group ….we’d love to chat with you  email: reelbritannia@gmail.com  #britmovie #reelbritannia #theentertainer  Thanks for listening!  Scott and Steven
