Ashley Rowe (lots of TV) shot it in a very naturalistic style like that of Mr Menges.
Hurt's look was modelled on Bamber Gascoigne.
It's not sentimental. Rest of good cast: Keith Allen, Jane Horrocks, Alan Cumming, John Hurt.

Second Best (1993, released 1994 Chris Menges)
It had slipped under our radar like a Government foreign policy. David Cook adapted his novel. Chris shoots very close, but it's because he's trying to get us into the internal worlds of both William Hurt and Nathan Yapp (both excellent, despite Hurt's indeterminate accent which is somewhere in the West Country - Ireland - Scotland area; Yapp was so traumatised by the accent that he never acted again).
