Withnail & I is a black comedy written and directed by Bruce Robinson. Loosely based on his life in London in the late 1960s, the plot follows two unemployed actors, Withnail and "I" (portrayed by Richard E. Grant and Paul McGann, respectively) who share a flat in North West London in 1969. In need of a vacation, they obtain the key to a country cottage in northern England's Lake District belonging to Withnail's eccentric uncle Monty and drive there. The weekend break proves rather less recuperative than they hoped... Withnail & I was Grant's first film role and it was crucial in establishing his profile. The film features iconic performances by Richard Griffiths as Withnail's Uncle Monty and Ralph Brown as Danny the drug dealer. It was not a huge success on its initial release but over time it has become one of Britain's most beloved cult films.
