[QUOTE="Willie Oleson, post: 406549, member: 8"] WITHNAIL & I (1987) [ATTACH type="full"]54013[/ATTACH] I've had a strange day today.

No idea why I picked this one, it was one of the first titles that popped up on Prime and perhaps I made the nonsensical and totally useless connection with Clifford T. Ward's "Wherewithall".
