From 1959, this clip of Laurence Olivier launching a new tv network in Northern Ireland is quite a rare gem. TV was a new medium certainly for Larry, and I think it shows in this clip. He has a script in his lap and even flubs the lines a bit, which is fascinating because that probably didn’t happen much.
