      So creepy... ... "you're bound to feel dizzy, Muriel, it's all the goodness taking effect" ...

      And Hurt is pitch-perfect, pitiful and poignant....
      "...the isle is full of noises,
      Sounds and sweet airs, that give delight and hurt not.
      Sometimes a thousand twangling instruments
      Will hum about mine ears, and sometime voices..."

        Judy Geeson......

        John H. gives a great performance in this, though is Welsh accent isn't quite perfect (possibly diluted for international consumption). And a really great performance by Richard Attenborough. The film follows Ludovic Kennedy's book very closely.

          Radio 4 - 2:30pm today - Jeffrey Bernard Is Unwell

          John Hurt stars as the dissolute, plain-speaking wit. With frequent, very strong language.
