You once said that you were only interested in acting that you can’t see. What did you mean by that exactly?The best way to describe it is to cite the one exception to the rule: Laurence Olivier. He was a genius, always put on a good show, was riveting and sometimes very funny. I admire how the children act in [Courtenay’s new film]. They just do it. Perhaps they do it more than they need, to draw attention to themselves. My old friend Albert [Finney] didn’t try to draw attention to himself.
Doctor Zhivago seems to have been as epic a shoot as the story itself. Do you have any anecdotes or memories?My great scene was on the back of the train. People say: “Oh, that’s iconic, that!” It took two days to film because [director] David Lean couldn’t decide what I’d wear.could have told him he hadn’t shot it close enough. David never made choices; he just edited as he went along.
Why the hell didn’t you get on the train with Julie Christie? I know I would have done given half the chance!in the scriptYou appeared in some great films in the 1960s but then did little film or TV work in the 70s. Was that a deliberate choice?I did a film called One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich that I thought was beautiful, but no one else was greatly interested in, which was a big disappointment. So I sort of went off it a bit. I kept involved in theatre, so the plays ran.
