 Classic Cleese September 11, 2008
Irish Reader (Bastardstown, Republic of Ireland)
This film makes me laugh as much today as it did in 1986! It's good old light-hearted farce from beginning to end.
Mr. Stimpson (Cleese) is Head Teacher of a comprehensive school and a stickler for time-keeping. When he's invited to address the annual Head Teachers' Conference in Norwich, he times his journey to the millisecond - then everything that can go wrong goes wrong! He boards the wrong train, loses the transcript of his speech, and even ends up having a bath in a monastery! In many ways, Stimpson resembles the notoriously accident prone Basil Faulty of the 1970s.
It's just a fun movie from start to finish!

Pitch perfect mid 1980's comedy, with Cleese keeping his manic side in check - just - as he tries to get to a conference.
One of the oddest things about watching the films now is how old it seems. We still tend to think of the 1980s as recent history, but when you watch this you realise how much has changed. The cars, the trains, the lack of traffic, no mobile phones. Who would have thought it - 1986 is suddenly starting to look like the good old days.

Top movie from the 80s. John Cleese is off to give an important speech at the Headmasters conference. He is normally very, very punctual but things go wrong when he misses his train. He then proceeds to get lost in the middle of the English countryside, loses his clothes and almost his mind. But he keeps it going to the end and makes his speech.
