Profiles in Cinemania: HandMade Films

Cinquisitor Ethan recounts the rise and fall of ex-Beatle George Harrison's once-great (but now defunct) film production company, HandMade Films. This was the British mini-major responsible for some of the greatest sources of CINEMANIA ever to erupt out of Perfidious Albion, including Time Bandits, The Long Good Friday, Withnail and I, and Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels. Listen to this tragic tale of good intentions brought low by self-dealing, and raise a glass to toast what was and what might have been.
