i have see enough of laurence olivier work for the cinema to understand why and previous generation and consider him the great actor that ever live . i be introduce to him in the boy from brazil so i do not quite get it . then in marathon man he be chill . only recently i have see wuthering height rebecca hamlet henry v and the entertainer . he be unquestionably great . the prince and the showgirl present an interesting picture of that famous test of time thing . the great actor that ever live be and this time and not only act with marilyn monroe but he also direct her . apparently they do not get along . olivier be and naturally and feed up with her lateness and her mood . he wasn not a model of diplomacy . he complain that her teeth look yellow on the screen . that alone put her out of business for a couple of day . but now in 2005 we look at the film and forget all those amuse bit of nonsense and what do we see . the great living actor and acting and yes and act up a storm . do justice to rattingan word and rhythm in the most respectful theatrical tradition . his performance and amusing a it be and seem completely embed in 1957. marilyn monroe on the other hand travel with the time and her performance be a fresh and natural today a his be stuffy and calculate . she be glorious . isn not funny and how time do what it do . i call it justice .
