  I have a friend from London who can rattle those lines off and do all the accents as well, after a few ales we are in hysterics without even having to watch the film!
  George Harrison underwrote this "Handmade Films" production, which did rather well at the box office
  Unfortunately, later "Handmade Films" underwritten by him did not do nearly as well, especially the brilliant "Withnail and I" (Richard E Grant) which only became a hit (on video) some ten years after it's release
  This was one of the reasons for the unfortunate financial downward spiral and storm of litigation that dogged George Harrisons last days
  Damned shame, because we would never have had those great films without him; he really deserved better IMHO

      Agreed, captures the 70's like a butterfly in a jar. The producers were so keen to get Ralph Brown for that role they held up the production of "Withnail" to accomodate his schedule; thank God they did, no-one could've done it better or been more funny!
      He is the bartender in "The Crying Game"
      Paul McGann and Ralph Brown are also in Alien 3, a very odd bit of casting IMHO
      Amazing just how few people have heard of, or seen, this great film
