What Is A Cock and Bull Story About?
The premise of A Cock and Bull Story without spoilers.
Steve Coogan, an arrogant actor with low self‑esteem and a complicated love life, lands the lead in a lavish period adaptation of “The Life and Opinions of Tristram Shandy, Gentleman,” filmed in a grand stately home.
