The Missionary (1982)

Michael Palin is the Reverend Fortescue, a simple, bashful dog collar chap who, when sent to bring ‘fallen ladies’ of the night back to God, gets into a game of licentious give and take for which he was ill-prepared.
Palin was also the writer, but it’s far removed from the kind of surrealism he’s known for with the Monty Python team. Its strength is in playing on the conventions of the traditional British period drama, but it succumbs to the same failings, too, and it never dares to go to the places it should’ve gone; it’s much too tame.
