Synopsis "Olivier has sealed theigreatness of this role." -TIME Magazine The late 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.
