I didn’t realize that the film Withnail and I came from an unpublished book by Bruck Robinson, who then turned it into a screenplay and became the film’s director. I’ve been reading some of the screenplay, and it’s just as hilarious as the movie. In fact, I kind of like the screenplay better because there are so many hysterical lines that, in the movie, go by too fast - and in the book you don’t miss anything.

Has anyone read it or seen the book? What are your thoughts?
