Exploring Peter Finch's life as an abandoned, unloved child is a key in understanding his brilliant mesmerising style of acting. In his youth in Australia, he conquered all the fields in acting well before his discovery after the war in 1947 by Sir Laurence Olivier and Vivien Leigh in Sydney on their Old Vic Company Tour.

He chose London and his destiny was established with films like The Shiralee, A Town like Alice, The Trials of Oscar Wilde, Sunday Bloody Sunday and Network. Finch had enviable good looks, a star presence and diverse acting talent.
