"Director Michael Winterbottom's new film (2003), "24 Hour Party
People," is a fictionalized tale of a real time in music history.
>From 1976 to 1992, Manchester, England was the epicenter of one of the
hottest post-punk scenes in the world, and Tony Wilson, a TV
journalist turned record label owner and music promoter, was a major
player. In "24 Hour Party People," Wilson is played by British
comedian Steve Coogan."
