Broadcaster Gerry Anderson chooses a legend of cinema.
Actor Burt Lancaster started as a circus performer and became the biggest Hollywood star of his time.
He could be as sinister as Cagney, as sensitive as Brando and as swashbuckling as Flynn - but the only role he ever played was himself.
Gerry Anderson - also famous for being himself - discusses the star's complex talent and complicated life.
Presented by Humphrey Carpenter.
With Burt Lancaster's biographer, Kate Buford.
Producer: Peter Everett
First broadcast on BBC Radio 4 in October 2004.
