After Monty Python's Flying Circus and Fawlty Towers came John Cleese's greatest big-screen comedy classic.
The big man plays repressed barrister Archie Leach, who is targeted by a double-crossing gang of thieves as a means to getting to hidden loot. Things take a comedy detour when Cleese's dammed-up emotions are unlocked by Jamie Lee Curtis's coolly calculating vamp. The film also features Kevin Kline and Michael Palin.
