Worth a watch.
Fantabulosa (2006) Michael Sheen plays the irrepressible Kenneth Williams. Have seen this b4 but it was a while ago. if memory serves it was quite a sad life he had, like many comic genius's; must be in the genes, or in Kenny's out of them;) Michael Sheen is fantabidozi
he was brilliant as Tony Blair, Brian Clough and David Frost as well. Scary talent.
yes saw the clough one and bits of Blair. He did a pretty good job with a very difficult subject in Kenny Williams, who was an extremely complex character ...some today may say he wad in fact mad.Quote:

Along with Shogun, this was one of the films that fuelled my fascination with Japan.
Robert Mitchum is very good in this film.
