    I really feel for Mark holding back the tears as he visits his childhood home. Imagine going back to your own childhood home and it's exactly as it was! He must have been expecting his Dad to be in the house waiting for him. Great documentary, Great actor and a great son! Ollie would be proud!

    Oliver Reed was a mighty actor. Screen presence off the charts!
    They should have given him an Oscar at last for Gladiator.
    Mark looks so much like his Dad.

    When Ridley Scott started work on "The Duellist", his first choice for actors was Oliver Reed and Michael York, however the producers of the film declined as they were expensive and opted for Keith Carradine and Harvey Keitel instead. It's interesting that Oliver Reed repeatedly watched and admired the film.

      I wouldn't jump to that conclusion. Mark is a sports commentator so he's used to cameras. Perhaps she didn't want to be under the stage lights and is a private person. I don't think you quite understand Oliver Reed if you really believe that he was an actual chauvinist. He used to say these things in jest or when drunk to get a reaction. But people used to take it seriously so he played with them.
