A British comedy starring John Cleese as a public school headmaster with a poker wedged firmly in his ass. His day starts well, but slowly spirals into a first class Basil Fawlty style nightmare.
Cleese’s ability to personify an emotional breakdown is unsurpassed. I love how he clings to his dignity like a puppy with a stick, even when it’s clear the stick is chewed beyond recognition.
