What's left behind the scenes
- Bruce Robinson’s screenplay is largely autobiographical. He based it on his unpublished novel of the same name from 1969, in which he implied himself under the name “Marwood.” However, in the film, this is an unnamed character, “I.” The name Marwood flashes before the viewer only once, in an address on a telegram.
- Daniel Day-Lewis could have starred in the film.
- In 1968, Bruce Robinson played Benvolio in Franco Zeffirelli's "Romeo and Juliet." The director, being gay, constantly tried to seduce him. Robinson used his habits and manner of speech in his own film, endowing Uncle Monty, who attempts to seduce Marwood, with them.
- The name "Withnail" comes from Robinson's childhood. It refers to a local boy named Jonathan Withnail, who crashed into a police car in the parking lot of a pub.
- Withnail is played by a staunch teetotaler, Richard E. Grant. Only once did he drink a glass of vodka in one go for the sake of authenticity, after which he immediately became intoxicated. McGann and Robinson later told him that the footage had never seen anything funnier.
- There were quite a few contenders for the role of Withnail, including Kenneth Branagh, Edward Tudor-Pol, and the director's friend Bill Nighy. However, the final choice fell on Richard E. Grant, a British actor of Swazi origin, who, on the director's advice, was supposed to lose weight before filming.
- The director immediately invited Paul McGann to play Marwood, his onscreen alter ego, but after auditions, he rejected him due to a strong Liverpool accent. But since Bruce Robinson couldn't find anyone else for the role, and Paul McGann had meanwhile practically gotten rid of the accent, he was the one who embodied the image of Marwood in the film.
- Bruce Robinson received a token sum of one pound from Harrison's company for the screenplay, £80,000 for directing, and £30,000 for additional filming.

- The name "Whitnail" comes from Robinson's childhood. It's a local guy named Jonathan Whitnail who crashed into a police car in the parking lot near a pub.
