Albert Finney In Character by Quentin Falk
In the 1960s, Albert Finney was the screen's incarnation of the new British working-class hero. In the theatre, he was hailed as the `new Olivier'. Yet, instead of actively pursuing either image, he went his own way and became a millionaire.
To some, he became the leading actor of his generation. To others, he had an ambition bypass. To severer critics, Finney has remained cheerfully indolent, almost wilfully failing to fulfil the remarkable early promise which led to comparisons not only with Olivier, but also Scofield, Burton, Cagney and even Spencer Tracy.
Quentin Falk is also the author of books on Graham Greene, Lew Grade, the Rank Organization and Anthony Hopkins
