The supporting pIayers include Mickey Rooney (The Black StaIlion, It's A Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World), Eartha Kitt (Boomerang, The Emperor's New Groove), John CIeese (A Fish CalIed Wanda, YeIlowbeard), Terry Jones (Jabberwocky, Monty Python and The Holy Grail) and Charles McKeown (Brazil, Monty Python's The Life of Brian). |
