This is a fantastic story, I watched it on TV in 1991, and I haven't watched it since, but it still scarred into my mind, memory and I can never forget it. I'm reminded of it today, as Mark Rylance won an BAFTA award today, for his acting in "The Government Inspector". The story is quite, sad, but the truly amazing thing is the acting of Mark Rylance, who's a very established actor on the UK stage in Shakespeare. He's I think probably the first actor that made me realise how crucial a role acting is, and real actor can transport you into real worlds. Mark Rylance transports into a very real world or Alcohol Abuse, Street Tramps and chess being a shining light. Quite Amazing. Don't watch this, if you do it will change your outlook on life and haunt you forever. The writing is also amazing, and it so crazy it could only be from a true story, the old saying Truth is Stranger than fiction is just so true!
