John Cleese es ampliamente reconocido por sus contribuciones a la comedia británica, particularmente a través de su trabajo en programas de sketches y comedias de situación icónicos. Su distintivo estilo cómico a menudo explora las absurdidades de la vida cotidiana y las convenciones sociales con agudeza e ingenio intelectual. Las actuaciones de Cleese se caracterizan por un tiempo impecable y una habilidad única para encarnar personajes memorables y a menudo excéntricos. Su influencia en la escritura y la actuación cómica sigue resonando, haciendo de su trabajo un referente para el humor satírico y de observación.
Die unvergessliche Filmkomödie von 1988 mit John Cleese, Jamie Lee Curtis, Michael Palin und Kevin Kline: genial witzig, herrlich durchgeknallt und zutiefst schwarzhumorig. In der deutsche Synchronisierung gehen jedoch sprachliche Feinheiten verloren - in diesem Original-Drehbuch lassen sie sich genießen. Ungekürzte und unbearbeitete Textausgabe in der Originalsprache, mit Übersetzungen schwieriger Wörter am Fuß jeder Seite, Nachwort und Literaturhinweisen.
