Wednesday 23rd July

The next film for Castle Eaton Community Cinema is Mr Burton 

Mr Burton is a new British drama film directed by Marc Evans about the early years of Richard Burton’s career, beginning in his mid-teens, in the early days of the Second World War, and continuing up to the Festival of Britain year, 1951, when Burton played Prince Hal in Henry IV parts 1 and 2 at Stratford, and his status as a star was confirmed.

The Mr Burton of the title is not Richard, but Philip, Richard’s English teacher who recognised the raw talent in the rather wild young Richard (then called Richard Jenkins), trained and mentored him, adopted him (hence the name change), and helped him get into Oxford University, and ultimately begin his career as an actor. Philip was so important to Richard’s career that Elizabeth Taylor once said in an interview that: “without Philip Burton there would never have been a Richard Burton” !!
