You never heard of this one? It might be because Romance with a Double Bass isn't a feature film at all, but a 40-minute short subject, designed for British television.
John Cleese, still in his
Monty Python period, plays a double-bass player who woos a lovely princess (Connie Booth). Both Cleese and his beloved are left to wander the countryside naked when a thief steals their clothes. Yes, they're starkers, and the film does little to cover up the naughty bits. Though the rest of the
Monty Python gang isn't around for Romance with a Double Bass, we are treated with amusing cameos from such master performers as
Graham Crowden and
Freddie Jones. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
