I read comment from John Cleese where he said that the only countries where this film was successful were Sweden and England. Countries with many dutiful people and where the time is very important. 15 minutes late arrival to a meeting is a catastrophe in Sweden. If you are late to a movie you will be sure to here some annoying comments. This film is about a headmaster who is a "timefreak". On his way to a important meeting in Norwich, he takes the wrong train and the catastrophe is a fact. Or...? Very funny, one of my favourite comedies of all time.
