John Hurt began shooting 'An Englishman In New York' in August in New York, a title taken from the now famous song by String.
The film written by Brian Fillis takes up where The Naked Civil Servant left off and takes us through his move to New York and his subsequent years there.

You can find out about the full cast and crew at The Internet Movie Database entry,

The cast includes Cynthia Nixon (of Sex And The City), who is playing Quentin's long time friend, cabaret entertainer Penny Arcade.

You can also see some wonderful photos of John in full costume at The Quentin Crisp Archives
