Great Lives: Brian Cox on Lindsay Anderson

Series 2, episode 1

Actor Brian Cox extols the virtues of Lindsay Anderson, his one-time mentor and fellow Scot. Anderson founded the Free Cinema movement in the 1950s. His films include This Sporting Life and If...., which won the Palm d'or in 1969 and helped launch the career of Malcolm McDowell. His international reputation surpassed his fame in Britain, where his uncompromisingly anti-establishment stance failed to win him mainstream admirers. Presented by Matthew Parris
