- The opening sequence to the 1970 British movie 'The Rise and Rise of Michael Rimmer', featuring the lovely Valerie Leon, who older viewers will remember as the girl in the Hai Karate commercials from the early 70s!
An underrated movie IMHO. Starring Peter Cook with support by John Cleese and Graham Chapman (of Monty Python fame), Arthur Lowe and Ronnie Corbett. - Комедії
valerie leons body is completely perfect,might have to get this for my valerie leon collection
just got it on dvd now very good and valerie is just wow in it
this movie looks like an all-star cast, a veritable who is who of British TV and movie actors.
What a gorgeous Woman she was (and still is); all the more surprising she married a very conventional looking Man. Those Legs, those thighs; swoon.
When human cloning eventually gets sorted out I'll have three Valerie Leons and a Vanessa Howard, please.
I'd settle for two Valeries, a Vanessa, and maybe throw in a Madeline Smith or Caroline Munro. Would need a few days off obviously.
I just bought this and discovered that the TV version is cut.
I read about this movie in the US in 1977 and wondered why It hadn't been released there.
Goddess !!
Looking through Valerie's gorgeous legs at 07:00

What a name drop of a film, was it like every English actor and actress' week when they filmed this?
It's a political satire intended as a parody of Seldon man - Heath, Powell or McLeod the likely 1970 Conservative PM candidate. Could equally be on Boris or Penny running in 2022 or any of the military candidates.
@@frederickmiles327 It's not exactly soft on Harold Wilson, sorry, "Blackett".
I have this on VHS, but sadly no way to upload it.
He there to shut them down or Just fire some????
Peter Cook stars and partly writes with Cleese and Chapman this parody of the likely 1970 conservative campaign to elect Seldon man Heath, Powell or McLeod PM. Commercially it was something of a disaster as the film was not released until a year after filming to avoid conflicting with the 70 election.
Might as well have been a brilliant take on UK Politics and the leadership struggle and marketing and manufacturing of the new leader by Cummings, the Frost/ Cumming character is described as the Ferret in the Cook film
Micheal Rimmer the ambitious and self selected candidate a Blairite of indeterminable Labour lite/ Tory irresponsible mush -Johnstone, Mourdant, Tugenhat. All could be Micheal Rimmer.
She's the only good thing about this.
Just watched this on TCM in Australia ( amongst all the dross ) and I was incredibly disappointed.... Peter Cook, who I think was one of the funniest men to draw breath, was boring in the lead role and the film was nowhere near as witty, satirical, clever and most importantly FUNNY as I'd anticipated it would be considering Cleese and Chapman had written it.... As I say, a major disappointment - BEDAZZLED ( the original ) is much better.
A lot of Cleese and the Pythons' work was about drab businessmen in suits, subverted their world when made but is a surprising bore in hindsight..
