The Missionary*
(GB 1982)
A returning missionary from Africa is given the task of reforming prostitutes in East London - to the extent of becoming physically involved in the work.
Somewhat fractured as a story but well captured in period style and atmosphere, allowing for some Pythonesque eccentric cameos, in a sort of classier rendering of an episode of Ripping Yarns.
Written by: Michael Palin.
Producers: Michael Palin, Neville C. Thompson.
Director: Richard Loncraine.
Starring: Michael Palin, Maggie Smith, Trevor Howard, Denholm Elliott, Phoebe Nicholls, Michael Hordern, Graham Crowden, David Suchet, Roland Culver, Timothy Spall.
Photography: Peter Hannan.
Music: Mike Moran.
