He made an 11 part series for BBC radio in 1978 in which he recounted his life in the theatre from the earliest days.
Part 10 is given up to his movie appearances. He discusses working on Julius Caesar with Brando and James Mason as well as Orson Welles in Chimes at Midnight and various other roles including Disraeli and Lord Raglan in Charge of the Light Brigade and his work on Caligula.
Here it is (29 minutes long):

The other parts are well worth listening to if you're a fan of the theatre. Some very amusing anecdotes and descriptions of great characters like Ellen Terry, Edith Evans, Mrs Patrick Campbell etc.
