Movie review - "Withnail and I" (1987) ****

 I was resistant to this on first viewing - too boorish, too cold, too wet. As the years have gone on I appreciate it more. It's look of youth, the ending with the two men going different ways, the music, the beauty of the photography and locations, the superb work of Richard E. Grant, the understated work of Paul McCann, Richard Griffiths stealing the movie almost, Ralph Brown being very funny, the end of the 1960s.

Ringo Starr gets a credit.
