Withnail & I

The film is set in an old, run down student flat in London’s Camden Town at the end of the 1960’s. Withnail and I are a couple of unemployed actors from different ends of the social spectrum.

Withnail is a Harrow educated dilettante, and rather upper crust; his flatmate Marwood is a grammar school boy with a slightly more serious outlook on life. To escape from the squalor of their grim, unemployed, existence in Camden Town, soaked in a near lethal cocktail of alcohol and drugs, the desperate couple call upon the generosity of Withnail’s uncle Montague and secure the use of his cottage in the country for a weekend.

The film’s soundtrack brings us “A Whiter Shade of Pale”, played by King Curtis on the Saxophone, “My Friend” and “Walk hand in Hand”, performed by Charlie Kunz, “Schubert’s Piano Sonata in B Flat Major” performed by Leslie Pearson, “All Along the Watchtower” and “Voodoo Chile”, by Jimi Hendrix, “Hang Out the Stars in Indiana”, performed by Al Bowlly, and “While My Guitar Gently Weeps”, by the late lamented George Harrison, who provided much of the financial backing for this memorable film.

This is a thoroughly entertaining 108 minutes of humourous entertainment, suitable for broad-minded adults who enjoy the generous use of profanities and sexual innuendoes, a few too many drinks, a convincing 60’s atmosphere, superb performances from the excellent cast, and music to make your heart weep.

jyotirmoy, I suggest two different directions:

1) The Big Lebowski - a great movie about "The Dude" with great music and an excellent cast
2) The Godfather (any part!) - Francis Ford Coppola's masterpiece(s) on the Mafia with Marlon Brando, Al Pacino and Robert De Niro

What kind of movies did you like in the past, jyotirmoy? Knowing your preferences could make it easier.

jyotirmoy · Apr 16th, 2006, 22:07

I am in to serious stuff like Bergman, Fellini, Victor di Sica of the western filmdom

Blackbeard's Ghost is vintage Disney slapstick comedy. Late 60's with Ustinov in the title role as a boozing blackbeard. Gotta give it two thumbs up.

I taped it when it was on Disney Channel a few years back ...... gotta go dig it out again!
