Sir Ralph Richardson, Sir John Gielgud and Sir Lawrence Olivier also appeared together in the great "Wagner" TV series -- see Wagner (mini-series). Here they played the three cabinet ministers of King Ludwig of Bavaria. This firm, shot in Munich 1983, was the only film in which all three friends ever appeared together.-- dunnhaupt ( talk) 23:25, 22 May 2009 (UTC)
I saw Ralph Richardson starring in Graham Greene's comedy "The Complaisant Lover" on London's Shaftesbury Avenue in June 1952 -- a role not mentioned here. -- dunnhaupt ( talk) 00:33, 29 March 2013 (UTC)
That isn't Ralph Richardson in the cap in the behind-the-scenes photo from The Volunteer.
a) It doesn't look like him
b) That officer look like he is a Lieutenant (two stripes) Ralph Richardson played a Lieutenant Commander (2 1/2 stripes)
c) When Ralph Richardson visited the carrier he was in normal blue uniform, sometimes wearing a duffel coat. Later he is seen in mess dress when he goes to watch the film.
d) The only time we see anyone in tropical (white) uniform is when they're showing the film on the carrier of their trip to Morocco the previous summer

I see that this article was quite recently promoted to FA status, and it appears to be very well done. However, the second clause in the lead leaves me rather confused; what exactly is a theatrical knight? An actor who's been knighted? Anyway, I think it would be helpful to add a note explaining what a theatrical knight is and/or mentioning who else is in this "group of theatrical knights": is it just Oliver and Richardson?
Also, the last sentence in the second paragraph leaves me similarly confused: "He was not known for his portrayal of the great tragic roles in the classics, preferring character parts in old and new plays." Is a "great tragic role" a main role in a tragedy, while "character parts" are minor character roles"? And are classics, old plays, and new plays three separate categories? I apologize for being utterly ignorant of mid-20th century British theater, but I thought other non-experts might be confused by these two issues, so I have pointed them out.

Is footnote 6 correct? 24.190.114.148 ( talk) 10:57, 28 January 2015 (UTC)
Meant reference 6 and now see it's been revised. 24.190.114.148 ( talk) 11:00, 28 January 2015 (UTC)

This is the part that needs to be flush left. This statement "Richardson on his mother's breakup of the family" aligning to the right looks very poor in my opionion.-- EditorExtraordinaire ( talk) 23:11, 31 January 2015 (UTC)
This version, with the line break, makes the flush right look fantastic. Well done Cat! EditorExtraordinaire ( talk) 00:09, 1 February 2015 (UTC)

Prolific, respected actor, needs general expansion, citing. Filmography should be completed and split from article. |
