The Missionary
The Missionary ★★½ 1982 (R)
A mild-mannered English missionary returns to London from his work in Africa and is recruited into saving the souls of a group of prostitutes. Aspiring to gentle comedy status, it's often formulaic and flat, with Palin and Smith fighting gamely to stay above script level. Still, good for some laughs, particularly during the near classic walking butler sequence. 86m/C VHS, DVD . GB Michael Palin, Maggie Smith, Trevor Howard, Denholm Elliott, Michael Hordern; D: Richard Loncraine; W: Michael Palin.
