Toby Benjamin - Withnail & I: From Cult To Classic

The definitive, in-depth exploration of the creation and legacy of film classic Withnail & I, featuring interviews, essays, and fascinating never-before-seen archive material.

Authorised (and with a foreword) by author and director Bruce Robinson, Withnail & I: From Cult To Classic charts the extraordinary journey of a beloved cult film from being 'just thoughts really' to becoming a permanent feature in any list of the Best British Films ever made.

For the first time all of the surviving players have been interviewed for this book about their parts in the making of the movie, and the lasting effect it had on their lives. Bruce Robinson offers detailed insights into his creative process and influences, while new interviews with the film's stars Richard E Grant and Paul McGann provide personal insights into the impact that making and living with Withnail & I had.

Illustrated throughout with never-before-seen photography and archive material, and featuring contributions from famous fans like Sam Bain, Margaret Cho and Charlie Higson, this is the definitive, must-have book on Withnail & I.
