Other info:

Michael Crawford has starred in some of the biggest box-office hits of all time. From Frank Spencer in Some Mothers Do 'Ave 'Em, to the original Phantom in Phantom of the Opera, both in London's West End and on Broadway; from circus showman in Barnum to EFX, the multi-million extravaganza at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, the biggest hotel in the world, which he dominated for over two years, playing Merlin, Houdini and H.G.Wells, and which broke all existing box office records. He is the only actor to have won an Olivier Award as 'Best Actor' at the same time as 'Best Actor in a Musical'. And then there was Hello Dolly with Barbra Streisand, The Knack, How I Won the War with John Lennon… And all this for a man whose first stage role was in an opera by Benjamin Britten!
This is a behind-the-scenes intimate portrait of one of the funniest and most versatile of actors, whose popularity in the United States outshines any other British entertainer in the last 30 years, and whose television shows in Britain are just repeated and repeated in all English-speaking countries purely by public demand.

All Movie Guide
Few late 20th and early 21st Century actors have projected the stylistic or genre versatility of Briton Michael Crawford. The star of such movie blockbusters as The Knack .. and How to Get It (1965), How I Won the War (1967) and Hello, Dolly! (1969), Crawford also reigned supreme on stage. He effortlessly evoked the title role in the original production of Andrew Lloyd Webber's Phantom of the Opera, portrayed master showman P.T. Barnum to critical raves in Barnum, and later spent years at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, alternately playing Merlin the Magician, H.G. Wells and Harry Houdini. And yet, Crawford received his formal training in opera; he made his original show business debut in a musical by Benjamin Britten. As directed and edited by Tony Palmer, the documentary The Fantastic World of Michael Crawford carries viewers inside of the remarkable life and career of Crawford, a man who, the film argues, remains the most popular British entertainer of all time in the United States.
