Spoiler-Free Synopsis
Read MoreCollapse
John Cleese scripted and stars in this film as Archie Leach (a nod to Cary Grant), a lawyer defending the gangster boyfriend of Jamie Lee Curtis. Unfortunately, the pair fall head-over-heels in love just as the boyfriend's psychotic henchman Kevin Kline hits town. Add in inept hitman Michael Palin and some hysterical sight gags and the result from Ealing veteran Charles Crichton, his last film, is a classic British comedy.
