  and Withnail is the best of that humor, but other Handmade films aren't far behind, eg, Life of Brian, (Crucifixion, its a doddle!)
  Incredible that Bruce Robinson also did the screenplay for The Killing Fields
  I also have on video "How to get ahead in advertising" which is another Handmade film written by Bruce Robinson and starring Richard E Grant and that is a very, very odd piece indeed I might add
  Surprising how Withnail and I has achieved cult status but was a flop on its release, I think 1988 was just too close to home, now there are a few more years to distance us from the 1960's it makes for a more nostalgic perspective, the film seems to work better as per the "Whiter Shade of Pale" intro
  Withnail is a film that really does not crossover cultural barriers, to "get it" you have got to be British and have a sense of humor, or you quickly "enter the arena of the unwell"

    was twisted permanently!
    I loved all those dumb "Carry on..." comedies, early Terry Thomas, Sellers, and that whole group of crazies.
    Still, American guys who were of age during the 60s should appreciate "Withnail...".
    The scene in the police station is a "Champ."

    • 1969 was the year "Withnail" portrayed. I was 20 then. n - albee33 11:10:52 04/11/04 (0)

      Call me humor-deprived but I do not see connection between the fine actors you mentioned and the horrible Withnail. Funny you mentioned it, I too was out of age in the sixties, and I most certainly don't appreciate it.
