Product Description ------------------- * The finest cult film known to humanity! * Camden Town, the end of the sixties. Two struggling, unemployed actors decide some respite is in order and so depart their miserable flat for a week in the Lake District one that will involve rain, booze, minimal supplies, a randy bull and an even randier Uncle Monty. * Based on the real-life experiences of former actor turned writer/director Bruce Robinson, WITHNAIL and I has become one of British cinema s most fondly remembered comedies. A cult film in the truest sense that has also become a classic. * Perfectly cast with career-defining roles for Richard E.
