  • Story:
    Written and directed by playwright Terry Johnson, the film tells the story of the working and personal relationship between the comedians Peter Cook and Dudley Moore, a hugely popular duo in the UK during the 1960s and 1970s. Focusing primarily on Cook, the film traces the pair from their first meeting through their career as part of the Beyond the Fringe review, their television series Not Only... But Also (from which the film takes its title) and various other projects before their later estrangement as Moore became a successful Hollywood film star and Cook remained in the UK. Although some events are fictionalised and condensed, and the film was criticised in some quarters for an unsympathetic portrayal of many of Cook's faults, it was generally well-received critically.

TRIVIA AND POPULAR DIALOGUES

Trivia

Many who knew the real Peter Cook and Dudley Moore objected to the way their long partnership was depicted in this heavily-fictionalized TV movie. Alan Bennett pointed out with considerable acerbity that Dudley Moore, far from being victimized by his university peers because of his working-class origins, was, in fact, enormously envied by them, partly because he was already a success in show business whilst still an undergraduate, and more especially because of his phenomenally active sex-life.

Popular Dialogues

"[Peter discovers Dudley shagging a young woman in his dressing room when he should be getting ready to go on stage] Peter Cook: If you *do* decide to come on stage, Dudley, make sure you take her off your penis first."

"Peter Cook: Alcoholics need a drink first and last thing. I need oral sex and a cigarette. Which means I'm not an alcoholic. Lin Chong: I'm not going to sleep with you. Peter Cook: But you see it would enable me to distinguish you from the cleaner."
