FIRST HARRY LAWTEY
PICTURE FROM MR. BURTON BIOPIC
We have the first image of Harry Lawtey and Toby Jones in MR. BURTON biopic which will tell the true story of the relationship between Welsh schoolmaster Philip Burton and a wild young schoolboy called Richard Jenkins. The latter dreamed of becoming an actor, but his ambitions were in danger of being derailed by a combination of family trouble, the pressure of 
war, and his own lack of discipline. Mr. Burton recognized the raw talent in his pupil, and made it his mission to fight for him, becoming his tutor, strict taskmaster and eventually his adoptive father. Actor Burton would go on to be nominated for seven Oscars and was well known for his turbulent marriage to Elizabeth Taylor. Aneurin Barnard and Lesley Manville also star.

Many talented people go unrecognized, so this Richard is a lucky one...well, it takes talent to recognize talents. Should be an interesting firm..
ReplyDeleteYes, British biopics are always a pleasure to watch thanks to their thespians and great directors.
