 In 1930 , with his impending marriage in mind , Olivier earned some extra money with small roles in two films . In April he travelled to Berlin to film the English @-@ language version of The <unk> Widow , a crime comedy with Lilian Harvey , and in May he spent four nights working on another comedy , Too Many <unk> . During work on the latter film , for which he was paid £ 60 , he met Laurence Evans , who became his personal manager . Olivier did not enjoy working in film , which he dismissed as " this <unk> little medium which could not stand great acting " , but financially it was much more rewarding than his theatre work .
