FIRST HARRY LAWTEY
MOVIE TRAILER FOR MR. BURTON BIOPIC
We have the first trailer with 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. The movie is out April 4th.

Richard Jenkins is a lucky one whose ability got recognized by his teacher. Many talents got unrecognized more often than not.
ReplyDeleteAnd he even adopted him so that he can benefit from his surname and join the school.
DeleteThat sounds like a great story and I love it's based on a true story.
ReplyDeleteYes, on how Richard Burton became a star.
DeleteHe's lucky someone took an interest in him. Like Angie said, so many talented kids fall through the cracks because they are overlooked by a overburdened system.
ReplyDeleteLike myself LOL I could have been a great man if I ever had a mentor of any kind.
