"Hysterically tasteless" or "tastelessly hysterical": This 1985 British satire is surely one or the other, and possibly both. The time is 1947, and many wartime food restrictions are still in place. When a mild-mannered Yorkshire chiropodist (Michael Palin) and his social-climbing wife (Maggie Smith) hear that a group of locals are fattening an unlicensed pig, they decide to steal it. What follows is some of the grossest humor ever seen on-screen. Read the complete review for A Private Function
Monty Python alumnus Palin plays a podiatrist who abducts a pig to be eaten at the wedding of Princess Elizabeth and Prince Philip in post-war England.
