The Entertainer

Jean Rice, a young London art teacher, travels to a seaside resort to visit her family. She is emotionally confused, having had a row with her fiancé, who wants her to emigrate with him to Africa. The music-hall act of her father Archie Rice (Olivier) plays out to a small number of increasingly uninterested spectators. He is adored by his cynical son and watched with mild amusement by his father; but his relationship with Phoebe, his second wife, is strained. Archie is a womaniser and she is well aware of his tendencies, openly commenting on them to the rest
