I have a friend from London who can rattle those lines off and do all the accents as well, after a few ales we are in hysterics without even having to watch the film!
George Harrison underwrote this "Handmade Films" production, which did rather well at the box office
Unfortunately, later "Handmade Films" underwritten by him did not do nearly as well, especially the brilliant "Withnail and I" (Richard E Grant) which only became a hit (on video) some ten years after it's release
This was one of the reasons for the unfortunate financial downward spiral and storm of litigation that dogged George Harrisons last days
Damned shame, because we would never have had those great films without him; he really deserved better IMHO
