Sir Michael Redgrave looks back to the years 1950-60 because in 1950 he decided to return to the classical theatre, and he played Hamlet in London at the New Theatre and then in Denmark itself, at Kronborg Castle.
In conversation with TONY
BILBOW Sir Michael recalls some of his performances at Stratford; how he turned down the role of Professor Higgins in My Fair Lady; and, with the help of soundtrack, remembers certain highlights from the films he made during these rich and eventful years of his life.
