The National Broadcasting Company presents Transcribe Solorens Olivier in Theatre Royal. This is Laurens Olivier. Once again it is my pleasure to introduce to you our guest from the theatre who is going to appear in this week's program.

Next week, incidentally, I look forward to taking over the leading roles myself in this series. Today's guest will, I feel sure, be already familiar to you through the many films you've made which you've enjoyed success in the United States.

I refer to such motion pictures as the Golden Salamander, the third man and perhaps best known of all, brief and counter. Here's of course Trevor Howard. He has chosen to play the role of John Farrington in our play based on a work by Dostoevsky.

It's called The Judgment. Here then is Trevor Howard as John Farrington in The Judgment. My name is John Farrington, Dr. John Farrington. If you care to sit down for a moment or two, I'll tell you a story.

It's a fantastic story, you won't believe it. No one ever believes the truth. Would you like to hear it? Very well then, but I warn you, this isn't an ordinary story, and you can't listen to it in the ordinary way.

You have to pay attention, and you have to think. Yes, think. That's a surprisingly difficult thing to do. You don't have to believe that either, do you? Well, consider. Don't you think that you go about your normal everyday, do you think?

Are you conscious of thinking when you eat, walk, babe or dress? No, of course you're not. You'll perform 90% of all your actions without actually thinking. How do I know? Well, you see, I'm a psychiatrist.
