| Plot |
"A quirky comedy that's an absolute charmer." -US
Michael Palin (A Fish Called Wanda) and Maggie Smith (Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood) star in this "delectable, wicked little comedy" (Playboy) that puts a devout missionary...into a precarious position!
Reverend Charles Fortescue (Palin) has a problem. His boss, the bishop (Denholm Elliott), wants him to minister to the city's "fallen women". But when Fortescue begins recruiting converts from the streets, he discovers that these lusty ladies are only willing to submit to salvation...if they are permitted to share his bed! Hilarious and sexy, the Missionary is "charming [and] buoyant" (The New York Times)! |
