This movie moves *fast*, has a lot of characters to keep track of, and never takes itself too seriously. John Cleese is hysterical as a small-town sheriff; however, at the theater where I saw the flick, I was the only who got the joke when he walked into the film and said "What's all this, then?" I suppose folks in St. Louis aren't Monty Python fans... "Brother Orchid" shows up occasionally on the late show on your local independent station; it's an old flick with Humphrey Bogart and Edward G. Robinson. Bogey's goons botch a hit attempt on Robinson, who winds up hiding out and recuperating in a monastery. Robinson begins to lose some of his gangster attitudes, with interesting results. It's worth staying up for, in my opinion. -- Rich Kulawiec rsk@pur-ee.uucp rsk@purdue.uucp rsk@purdue-asc.arpa
