Peter Cook co-wrote and stars in this quirky British comedy about Michael Rimmer, a charismatic young man whose talent for asking the right thing at the right time lands him a job with a market research firm. Rimmer quickly rises to the top of the company, but he doesn't stop there as his penchant for questions--and some shady behind-the-scenes business--takes him all the way to the highest levels of the English government. Co-scripted by John Cleese and Graham Chapman, who also star along with Denholm Elliott, Dennis Price, Harold Pinter. 102 min. Widescreen (Enhanced); Soundtrack: English Dolby Digital mono.
