CGiii Comment
Not Gilliam's finest hour.
The whole thing becomes a rabble.
The only decent scenes are between Max Wall & John Le Mesurier...and there's not enough of them.

The(ir) Blurb...
After the death of his father the young cooper, Dennis Cooper (Sir Michael Palin), goes to town where he has to pass several adventures. The town and the whole kingdom is threatened by a terrible monster called "Jabberwocky". Will Dennis make his fortune? Is anyone brave enough to defeat the monster? A medieval tale with Pythonesque humor.
