Meryl Streep won the New York Film Critics and Cannes Film Festival Best Actress Awards as Australia's Lindy Chamberlain, accused of killing her infant daughter.

Brian Stimpson, headmaster, runs his school, as he runs his life, by the clock - until one little slip destroyed his schedule and turned one of the most important days of his life into a disaster. By the end of the day he is wanted by the police for kidnapping, car theft, vandalism and impersonating a monk and all because he went right instead of left!

British school headmaster Brian Stimpson (John Cleese) endures one disaster after another as he tries desperately to make it to an important speech on time in this hilarious adventure. A stickler for being punctual, Brian suffers a day of Murphy's Law as what can go wrong does indeed go very, very wrong. Alison Steadman, Penelope Wilton and Stephen Moore also star in this fitting showcase for Cleese's comedic talents.
