The Secret Policeman's Ball
A full-length, unexpurgated film of the annual Amnesty International comedy fundraiser that captures some of England's finest comedic minds performing classic sketches as well as a couple of delicious musical moments, courtesy of Pete Townshend, whose acoustic 'Pinball Wizard' and 'Won't Be Fooled Again' are smashing, and Tom Robinson, whose 'Glad to Be Gay' still packs a punch. Joining John Cleese are fellow Pythons, Michael Palin and Terry Jones, Rowan Atkinson, Peter Cook, Billy Connolly, Clive James and more.
