John Cleese est largement reconnu pour ses contributions à la comédie britannique, en particulier grâce à son travail sur des émissions de sketches et des sitcoms emblématiques. Son style comique distinctif explore souvent les absurdités de la vie quotidienne et les conventions sociales avec un esprit vif et un humour intellectuel. Les performances de Cleese se caractérisent par un timing impeccable et une capacité unique à incarner des personnages mémorables, souvent excentriques. Son influence sur l'écriture et la performance comiques continue de résonner, faisant de son travail une référence en matière d'humour satirique et d'observation.
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.
