John Cleese is one of the best comedic actors and he does a wonderful acting job in this movie. Jamie Lee Curtis, Kevin Kline, and Michael Palin were also fabulous. I have seen this at least twice and although it misses some of the enjoyment the second time, it still was amusing. It is a battle of wits between four backstabbers that are at times witless in merry olde England. The try to answer the age old question of, where are the diamonds? There is great humor on both the physical and mental levels. I really enjoy John Cleese, so check out a “Faulty Towers� or “Monty Python� episode as well. Nothing else really strikes me about this move.
