The Missionary

(1982)Directed by Richard Loncraine90 min · RComedy

In 1905, the Reverend Charles Fortescue (Michael Palin) comes home to England after ten years of missionary work in Africa. His bishop (Denholm Elliott) has a new post waiting for him: minister to London's prostitutes. Richard Loncraine puts him in the house of Lady Isabel Ames (Maggie Smith) and Lord Henry Ames (Trevor Howard), where she wants a good deal more from him than his sermons.
