The Missionary

Double Feature with PIRATES ON PARADE (7PM)
One ticket gives admission to both films.

Monty Python's Michael Palin wrote and stars in this Ripping Yarns-style comedy as an unassuming missionary called back to England after spending ten years teaching children in an African village. Upon arriving in London, he finds that his new assignment is to take charge of a slum mission for prostitutes. He obtains money for the running of the mission from a wealthy woman (Maggie Smith), whom he meets on the boat sailing to England from Africa. She guarantees the missionary the money he needs on the condition that he take it upon himself to add a little spice to her dormant sex life. The terrific supporting cast includes Trevor Howard, Denholm Elliott, Michael Hordern, Graham Crowden, Timothy Spall and Neil Innes.
