A seriously under-rated British comedy gem!!!
John Cleese is perfect in this role, tailor made for his talents, as a time obsessed school headmaster.
The story is an exemplary model of accelerating humor -- and contains one of my all-time favorite movie lines:
Quote:
"It's not the despair, Laura. I can stand the despair. It's the hope !"
If you somehow haven't seen this 1986 film yet, be sure to add it to your must-see list...
