About this movie

John Cleese, at his harried best in this hilarious British comedy, plays a school headmaster obsessed with punctuality. His best laid plans to attend a headmasters' conference go wrong when he boards the wrong train. He turns back to find alternative means of transport, hijacking one of his pupils who is taking the afternoon off school in her father's car. As the journey descends into further chaos, the head begins to lose his schoolmasterly poise.

Ratings and reviews

Beautifully constructed farce from the pen of Michael Frayn, my favorite because its a rarity, you don't feel sorry for the protagonist (played by John Cleese), an intelligent man who lets his desire for recognition lead him to make poor choices. Excelent

Hilarious scenes, loved it
