The Missionary
1983
An ordained Church of England minister is dispatched to early 20th-century London to raise money for his mission by working with women in need, leading to a satirical collision between Victorian morality and carnal reality. Michael Palin's film is a gentle period comedy that skewers the hypocrisies of empire and organised religion.
