Description:
The Missionary - Region 2 PAL DVD (please ensure you can play/view this DVD on your DVD player and/or Television as refunds for non compatible DVDs will not be given). Fallen women? Does it mean they've hurt their knees? After a decade of soul-saving in Africa, Charles Fortescue is asked to minister to the ladies of the night in 1906 London. So Fortescue feeds them, shelters them and not infrequently provides them a bed: his! A naive man of the cloth becomes a man of the sheets in this playfully naughty yet always tasteful comedy that stars Monty Python's Michael Palin (who also wrote the script) as Fortescue and features a colourful array of cockeyed characters: a blissful airhead (Phoebe Nicholls), a lusty mission sponsor (Maggie Smith), a bewildered butler (Michael Hordern), an earthy bishop (Denholm Elliott), a cantankerous John Bull (Trevor Howard) and more. Jolly good fun! Stars: Michael Palin ; Maggie Smith ; Trevor Howard ; Denholm Elliot ; Michael Hordern ; Phoebe Nicholls ; Graham Crowden ; David Suchet

The Missionary
Michael Palin Monty Python LD

Michael Palin of Monty Python’s Flying Circus wrote and starred in this satire of the clergy. He plays Reverend Fortescue, an unassuming missionary called back from Africa to England to take charge of a mission for ladies of the evening. He admits an ever-increasing number of them into his "private fold," and the mission succeeds so well that other sects become jealous. Filmed in London. FINE PRINT: Digital sound, color, closed captioned, 86 minutes, 1982
