DESCRIPTION

NB: Orders that include this product may take up to one month to ship, based on availability. This book is the complete screenplay of Withnail and I (Bruce Robinson, 1987), written by Bruce Robinson. Based on Robinson's life in London in the late 1960s, the plot follows two unemployed young actors, Withnail (Richard E Grant) and 'I' (Paul McGann) who live in a squalid flat in Camden Town in 1969 while squandering their finances on alcohol. Needing a holiday, they obtain the key to a country cottage in the Lake District belonging to Withnail's lecherous gay uncle Monty, and drive there. The holiday is less recuperative than they expected. Withnail and I was Grant's first film and launched him into a successful career. The film has tragic and comic elements (particularly farce) and is notable for its period music and many quotable lines. It has been described as 'one of Britain's biggest cult films'.
