Withnail and I

T0227387394
September 1969... the swinging '60's, rock 'n' roll, counter culture bohemianism... and two young unemployed actors - the flamboyant, boozy Withnail, and the shy, contemplative Marwood - live in utter squalor in a flat in Camden Town, praying for a job... Their only visitor is their drug dealer, Danny; their only expeditions are to the local pubs; and their only friends each other... Needing a break from the atrocious state of their acting careers, they hit upon the idea of a nice holiday - and Marwood proposes a trip to a cottage in the Lake District, owned by Withnail's wealthy Uncle Monty. Monty lives in Chelsea, and after a few drinks together, agrees to lend them the key to the cottage - for a price...
