The Supergrass is a 1985 British comedy film written and directed by Peter Richardson. Film starred Richardson, Adrian Edmondson, Jennifer Saunders, Dawn French, Keith Allen, Nigel Planer, Alexei Sayle, Ronald Allen and Robbie Coltrane.[1] After returning from a holiday in the West Country he untruthfully boasts of being a drug smuggler. However, he is overheard by the police, who persuade him to become a supergrass and inform on his associates.
To the consternation of fans, the DVD release of this film was the cut-down theatrical version, missing around 8 minutes of footage from the original.
