Mr Burton

This is the moving, untold story of how Richard Jenkins became Richard Burton, the biggest star Wales has ever produced. This film tells the true story of the relationship between Port Talbot schoolmaster Philip Burton (Toby Jones) and a wild young schoolboy called Richard Jenkins (Harry Lawtey), the son of a wayward drunk. Richard dreamed of becoming an actor, but his ambitions were in danger of being derailed by a combination of family trouble, the pressure of war, and his own lack of discipline. Mr. Burton recognized the raw talent in his pupil, becoming his tutor, strict taskmaster and eventually his adoptive father.
