USA 1978
Starring: Mark Hamill, Malcolm McDowell
Synopsys:
In this hilarious English comedy, Mark plays the part of Red, who is
one-half of a film crew sent along with a reporter, Travis, to investigate strange happenings at a local hospital. The hospital is plagued with striking workers, picketers, a mad scientist/doctor, a foreign leader in hiding, and patients losing body parts, all of which the Administrators are trying to keep hush-hush as they do not want an impending visit from the Queen to be cancelled.
Travis’ investigation comes to nothing, though, since Red and his coworker, Sammy, get so high while waiting in the T.V. truck, that they fail to record Travis’ report. The Royal visit ensues, with HRH and her entourage being smuggled into the hospital by ambulance and stretchers.
