The Bishop Misbehaves

About This Movie

So, 'The Bishop Misbehaves' is this quirky little comedy-crime flick from '35 that really captures that offbeat British humor. You’ve got Donald Meadows, this unsuspecting American tourist, who just wants to enjoy some cathedrals, but instead finds himself swept up in Hester Granthem’s wild robbery plans. The pacing is delightfully erratic, which kind of adds to the charm, and the performances – especially from Hester, they have this spark that makes you wonder what’s coming next. Plus, the backdrop of English cathedrals gives it this oddly serene yet mischievous vibe. It’s definitely a film that’s a bit obscure, but it's worth checking out if you stumble upon it.

This film is quite scarce, and it rarely makes it onto collectors' radars due to its age and the obscurity of its director. Most prints you’ll find are from older VHS or maybe some faded DVDs, and it hasn’t been widely restored. Collectors gravitate towards it for its offbeat premise and the unique time capsule it represents, showcasing a slice of 1930s British comedy that’s both charming and peculiar.
