With whom so many of which
Hi,
What was Sir Laurence Olivier trying to say here, and which would be the right way to say it? Would it be something like "with so many of whom (I have been together a great many times)? (Last part of the sentence borrowed from later on in the video.)
Thanks.

Thanks! When I've heard him get tongue-tied I've realized that it's a structure one must think well about before using it. I wasn't even sure it could be said as I'd suggested.
