Film: The Life of Brian

"One of the funiest British comedies of all time".  This is the story of an ordinary chap called Brian Cohen who is constantly mistaken for being the long-awaited Messiah.  His misforune is that he is born at the same time as - and in the next stable to - Jesus Christ.  The film generated a storm of pretest led by Mary Whitehouse, and was banned in several countries including Norway. This enabled the Swedish papers to say "we always thought the Norwegians had no sense of humour".
