THE ASTOR REVIEW

A delightfully-wicked comedy about two out of work actors in London in the late 1960s. They struggle to make something of their miserable lives and undertake a disastrous holiday in the country. George Harrison was the executive producer. Cult favourite. “We want the finest wines known to humanity – we want them here and we want them now!” (Grant seated at a cheap diner). Watch for the dead chicken. Executive Produced by George Harrison from his Handmade Films stable. George Florence

London 1969 - two 'resting' (unemployed and unemployable) actors, Withnail and Marwood, fed up with damp, cold, piles of washing-up, mad drug dealers and psychotic Irishmen, decide to leave their squalid Camden flat for an idyllic holiday in the countryside, courtesy of Withnail's uncle Monty's country cottage. But when they get there, it rains non-stop, there's no food, and their basic survival skills turn out to be somewhat limited. Matters are not helped by the arrival of Uncle Monty, who shows an uncomfortably keen interest in Marwood...
