Who is Laurence Harvey?
Who is Laurence Harvey? is a dramedy about the tempestuous life and untimely death of the forgotten international film star Laurence Harvey (1928 – 1973). This screenplay is a character study tracing the development of Larry’s public persona – the serious actor – juxtaposed with his troubled personal life, which he masked by his outrageous sense of humor. We follow Larry’s journey through interactions with his famous contemporaries, including his good friends (Frank Sinatra, Elizabeth Taylor), his enemies (Laurence Oliver, Sid James), and his illustrious costars (Shelley Winters, Angela Lansbury, Julie Christie).

Or will he be overwhelmed by his unscrupulous rivals?
