John Cleese plays barrister Archie Leach, who becomes discombobulated when Wanda (Jamie Lee Curtis), the lady friend of a gangster he is defending, makes a pass at him. Actually, Wanda wants to extract information out of Cleese about some diamonds that she and her boyfriend have hoisted with the help of her "brother" Otto (Kevin Kline) and an animal-rights freak (and mob flunky) named Ken (Michael Palin). Wanda wants those diamonds for herself, and Ken has already been subjected to her feminine wiles. Wanda hopes that by playing off her dreams against all three--the barrister, the animal-loving mobster and her gangster boyfriend--the confusion will allow her to escape with all the goodies. In addition to starring, John Cleese wrote the hilarious "poke-fun-at-everything" script for this international hit.

From the Dawn of Guys straight through to modern life, we'll learn about the common everyday things that have tormented Guys forever: Sports Concerns, Hardware Concerns, Public Restroom Concerns, and more.

John Cleese, one of the creative geniuses responsible for fathering the Monty Python comedy troupe, selects 18 of his favorite comic sketches and skits from the five-year U.K. run of Monty Python's Flying Circus (1969-1974), in the home release Monty Python's Flying Circus: John Cleese's Personal Best. Included here are the sketches Self-Defense Against Fresh Fruit, Exploding Version of the Blue Danube, Fish-Slapping Dance, Upper-Class Twit of the Year, and 14 others. Also featured are original sketches made by the comedian himself expressly for this release. John Cleese's Personal Best is one in a series of six volumes, each containing the favorite segments of a different Monty Python troupe member. ~ Nathan Southern, All Movie Guide.

In A Fish Called Wanda, Jamie Lee Curtis plays an ambitious con artist who uses every ounce of her sexual wiles to obtain a fortune in jewels stolen by her gangster lover Tom Georgeson. First, she romances Georgeson's dimwitted but deadly henchman Kevin Kline (who won an Academy Award for his performance). Then, to clear the path for her getaway with Kline, Jamie woos Georgeson's starched-shirt attorney, John Cleese -- and it's Cleese whom she genuinely falls in love with. Michael Palin, Cleese's former Monty Python cohort, plays a stuttering mob flunkey who continually messes up his one big assignment: killing a little old lady (it isn't that he has any qualms about knocking off the old dear; it's just that her pet dogs keep getting in the way). A Fish Called Wanda was scripted by star John Cleese. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide.

John Cleese's knack for mining hilarity from the growing frustration of a dignified gentleman is fully exploited in the British comedy Clockwise. Cleese portrays Brian Stimpson, a perfectionist English headmaster who has been selected to make an important presentation before a group of his peers. When Stimpson sets out upon his journey, however, he finds himself facing a seemingly never-ending series of delays and inconveniences, which range from missing a train to becoming a fugitive from the police. The film goes no deeper than its farcical surface, but is nevertheless consistently entertaining, thanks to former Monty Python member Cleese's precisely tuned transitions from composure to complete collapse. ~ Judd Blaise, All Movie Guide.
