The films HandMade filmed and produced include: Life of Brian, The Long Good Friday, Time Bandits, Mona Lisa and Withnail and I. It all started when Beatle George Harrison stepped in to fund Life of Brian when Monty Python's original backers pulled out. His company, HandMade films, went on to make some of the best British films of the 80's (Withnail and I, Time Bandits and Mona Lisa among them), but then things started to go wrong... This is the incredible and often hilarious insiders' story of what happened...
