The Rise and Rise of Michael Rimmer
(GB 1970)
An efficiency expert skilfully manoeuvres his way to the top of the British political system and then makes himself dictator once the public tires of his idea of total democracy.
Superficial satire from noted talents of the time, pointed but often painfully unfunny and somehow ineffective as entertainment, maybe because the main star is such a bland presence as an actor.
Written by: Peter Cook, John Cleese, Kevin Billington, Graham Chapman.
Producer: Harry Fine.
Director: Kevin Billington.
Starring: Peter Cook, Denholm Elliott, Arthur Lowe, Dennis Price, Ronald Fraser, Vanessa Howard, Valerie Leon, John Cleese, James Cossins, George A. Cooper, Richard Pearson, Harold Pinter, Julian Glover, Ronnie Corbett, and others.
Photography: Alex Thomson.
Music: John Cameron.
