HE EXPECTED fame, fortune and happiness when he went to New York to be a journalist, but bombed. Then he wrote a book after his failure that became a hit.

Now in an irony lost on no one involved in the project, London- based writer Toby Young is the toast of Cannes as the film of the book of the failure was launched with one of the most lavish parties of the festival so far.

At a villa on the hillside above the harbour, hundreds of guests including movie mogul Harvey Weinstein, Mischa Barton, Natalie Imbruglia, Gillian Anderson and Lily Allen with her father Keith watched a female string quartet play by the pool before fireworks and a DJ set to distinctive Gorillaz graphics projected onto the grand house frontage. The British magazine GQ and a new vodka, Akvinta, backed the party.

Young has built a career on never unknowingly underselling himself. But his self-deprecating book is proving his biggest triumph.

He said of the film: There were times when I thought this is never going to happen. I think its come out fantastically well. I couldnt hope for a better cast or a better director.

Pegg said Young was far more agreeable than his public image. I was surprised. I couldnt quite equate who I was meeting with this horror I had heard so much about. But he still feared public reaction.

Ive seen a rough cut and I think its funny. But Ive never been part of a film where the knives are out already. There are people out there who dont want Toby to do well.

Producer Stephen Woolley said: This is exactly what Toby dreamed of its the biggest party in Cannes.
