Review of by Dave Kehr for Chicago Tribune — 23 Mar 1995

It's difficult to see, too, what exactly all of this has to do with the.

Twilight of the '60s. With his frequent sentimental allusions to the end of an.

Era, Robinson seems to be grasping for a profundity that his anecdotal.

Reminiscences don't merit or really need. Marwood, the film implies, will.

Leave this life behind and go on to great things, while Withnail will be mired.

In it forever, a forgotten Falstaff to Marwood's striding Prince Hal. Self-.

Dramatization is one thing; self-Shakespearization is something else. [10 July 1987, p.C].
