Product Description: In the 1978 black comedy from director Peter Medak, Graham Chapman - just prior to LIFE OF BRIAN - stars as happily married Arthur Harris, who becomes suicidal when his wife suddenly leaves him. Unable to complete the task himself, he asks a strange handyman (BAFTA Award winner Sir David Jason of Only Fools And Horses, in a role once intended for Keith Moon) to kill him instead. But when Arthur's wife comes back, he discovers that his homicidal hire has every intention of finishing the job. Diana Quick (Brideshead Revisited), Carolyn Seymour (THE RULING CLASS), Simon Williams (JABBERWOCKY), Bill Paterson (Fleabag) and Richard O'Brien (THE ROCKY HORROR PICTURE SHOW) co-star in this "crazy comedy" (Travalanche) co-written by Chapman with Bernard McKenna (YELLOWBEARD) and produced by Mark Forstater (MONTY PYTHON AND THE HOLY GRAIL), now scanned in 2K from Peter Medak's personal 35mm print.
