- The Odd Job is a 1978 British comedy film starring Monty Python member Graham Chapman. It tells the story of a man named Arthur Harris (Chapman) who is recently abandoned by his wife. He becomes so depressed that he hires an "odd job man" to kill him. Once his wife returns, Harris finds himself unable to cancel the contract.
The concept originated as an episode of the London Weekend Television/ITV series Six Dates With Barker in 1971, with Ronnie Barker as Arthur Harris and David Jason as the Odd Job Man (who plays the same role in the feature film).
The role of the odd job man was originally intended for Chapman's friend, Keith Moon, but Moon was going through alcohol withdrawal at the time and in no real physical shape to play the part, although he did audition. It was shot at Shepperton Studios with location shooting around London.

Thanks! I really wanted to see 'The End' again, but couldn't find it. This was just the ticket!
One of my favorite DeLuise lines ever: (from the film)
"How do you get a Pollock's I.D.? ans. From the shit in his wallet!"
Thanks for watching.
in the states i only knew of the end so its fascinating to see its roots.
I wouldn't be surprised if the Graham Chapman version was not released in the US
I'm American so it may have changed my perspective because the comedies of Ronnie Barker were not shown in the US. Anyhow to me David Jason is always going to be inspector Frost. That's in my top three detective shows of all time. I guess I would have to put inspector Morse in there as well. The third would probably be Poirot.
I liked all three versions but I must admit the Ronnie Barker one worked best as there was only half an hour worth of material.
I think the Ronnie Barker one is best too
@@immakingamovie1379 Barker & Corbett were the Laurel & Hardy of their day🤩
I'm off to find the movie. (NOT the American one.)
Thanks.
Do let me know what you think
@@immakingamovie1379 I really enjoyed the movie!
David Jason's Odd Job man and Sgt. Mull steal the show though.
I laughed when Mr Harris says: "There is a man after me!", and the gay butch gangster said "You're lucky!" in reply.
The humour was good right throughout. Odd Job emerging under the 'Dangerous Creature' sign in the zoo, and Harris' reaction to the car backfiring.
What a perfect antidote to a Monday.
Thank you for the recommendation.
@@robert-trading-as-Bob69 I am glad you enjoyed it
