1193. THE CASE Of THE MUKKINESE BATTLE HORN (1956-ENGLAND). WITH PETER SELLERS, SPIKE MILLIGAN, DICK EMERY. FILMED IN “SCHIZOPHTENOSCOPEÓ {THE NEW SPLIT SCREEN!) SELLERS AND MILLIGAN EARNED PROMINENCE AND GREAT POPULARITY DURING THE 1950S AS TWO Of THE THREE RESIDENT MADMEN ON BBC RADIO’S RIOTOUSLY FUNNY, LONG-RUNNING THE GOON SHOW.” THEY APPEAR IN THIS ZANY, FREE-FORM FEATURETTE THAT ADEQUATELY REFLECTS THE SHOW’S INSPIRED NUTTINESS. THE CENTER PIECE Of THE SCENARIO- WHICH, WE ARE TOLD, IS STRAIGHT FROM THE FILES Of SCOTLAND YARD”- IS A MUKKINESE BATTLE HORN, A 9TH CENTURY RELIC, THAT IS STOLEN FROM A MUSEUM. SELLERS IS GREAT IN A ROLE IN WHICH HE SHOULD BE ALL-TOO FAMILIAR: THE BUMBLING, INCOMPETENT POLICE INSPECTOR AND SELF-DESCRIBED RAVING IDIOT IN CHARGE Of THE INVESTIGATION. THERE ARE SIGHT GAGS AND DOUBLE ENTENDRES, MYSTERIOUS BLONDES AND GUYS IN DRAG, CHARACTERS WHO SPEAK TO THE CAMERA AND JABS AT LONDON’S INFAMOUS SMOG, SCOTLAND YARD PROCEDURE, AND THE STIFF-UPPER-LIP MANNER Of THE BRITISH. HILARIOUS! RECOMMENDED! 27 MINUTES. COMEDY
