I liked this as a kid. It hasn't aged that well. I don't think it's one of the worst films of all time. Graham Chapman can hold the screen. Eric Idle very funny as is John Cleese - and Marty Feldman.
A few too many jokes about rape. Stagger stagger fall fall is still funny. They didn't quite get the plot to work. It feels as though they were pushing and pulling. It's Treasure Island ish. Maybe should've been that.
Lot of screen time goes to Martin Hewitt whose relationship with dad Chapman is an effective emotional core.
Decent production values. Peter Boyle not at home.
