It adds new dimensions to an already fantastic and hilarious film and is also just an incredible read on its own. Purchased on the recommendation of a friend because I am trying to get into screenwriting. I may as well throw in the towel. because who could live up to this?0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. BrilliantBy ConsuelaThis is a must-read for "Withnail and I" fans.
