Still Crazy (1998)

‘Hello, Wembley!’

As the great British actor Bill Nighy turned 60 on 12 December 2009, Cillian Donnelly takes the opportunity to examine this sadly little-seen gem, in which Nighy turns in a career-defining performance as Ray Simms, the conceited yet vulnerable former lead singer of 1970s hard rockers, Strange Fruit.
