Withnail & I (1987)

About the Item

Withnail & I (1987) Original British Quad (30 x 40 Inches) Very rare 1986 unfolded / rolled Original "Country of Origin" UK Quad poster, with art by Ralph Steadman, for the cult classic 1987 Bruce Robinson English vacation-from-Hell black comedy. Due to the low-key advertising for the film's initial release the UK quad has become one of the scarcest and most desirable British film posters of the 80’s! Steadman’s unique and immediately recognisable design for the title is bordered with an ornate gilded frame off-set against a white tiled toilet wall covered with graffiti complementing the overall atmosphere of squalor that pervades the film. This poster is in exceptional unrestored condition. And the film is one of the most celebrated British film’s of recent times. The ultimate British cult movie? London: The Sixties. Two down-on-their-luck actors (Richard E Grant, Paul Mcgann) find solace in drink and other substances. Seeking respite from their uneventful lives they escape up north to Penrith to Withnail's uncle's stone cottage.
