Review

relatively funny british comedy that was made in 87, but takes place in 69. it features to wannabe actors who are down on their luck. withnail is a classic character – he manipulates everyone around him to achieve his dreams of success. i’m not generally a fan of british comedy and this one doesn’t necessarily break that trend, but i found this to be at least as funny as monty python or benny hill. notable for bein the source of an orbital sample found on orbital 2’s “moebius”: ‘even a stopped clock gives the right time twice a day’ is taken from the character known only as “& i.” worth a shot.
