You will get to know not only the outstanding actor but also the Rickman he was behind the scenes: a friend, a traveler, a fan, a director, and an enthusiast.
He wasn't who people imagined him to be. He was often perceived as an arrogant aristocrat, though from a young age, he was dedicated to Labour ideals and was skeptical of the conventions of British royalism. Despite his reputation as an actor whose charisma no woman could resist, he remained unwaveringly faithful to Rima Horton for half a century.
