Played by Tom Conti the burnt out writer is a totally fresh and new character. This is very realistic and grounded portrayal that rang very true. Just 2 years previous to this you had Dudley Moore and Arthur and I couldn't help be reminded of that "drunk" performance. The movies and characters are so ultimately different though.
Kelly McGillis, Roberts Blossom and more are fantastic.
The writer was Julius Epstein of Casablanca fame and he really nailed this adaptation and it was good that he got an Oscar nomination for I.
At one point I didn't think it was like Arthur meets Marathon Man! Lol.
