本片是英国著名的喜剧团体Monty Python的成员特里琼斯 (Terry Jones)导演的一部荒诞不经的调侃宗教的电影,故事的发生地在巴勒斯坦,讲述了一个普通的男人被世人误认为是弥赛亚(犹太人企盼的复国救主)，由此引发了许多啼笑皆非的故事，一如Monty Python所有的电影那般，特里琼斯在这部电影中也使用了大量荒诞无厘头的笑料，电影以圣经为原型，由头至尾都充斥着颠覆，嘲讽的意味，对于虔诚的宗教人士来说，这部电影确实是场巨大的灾难。

Curious about a powerful but violent painting that caught his eye, Michael Palin sets off on a quest to discover the astonishing story of the forgotten female artist who painted it over 400 years ago. Travelling to Italy in search of Artemisia Gentileschi's tale, Michael encounters her work in Florence, Rome and Naples.
Michael unearths not only her paintings but a complex life which included her rape as a teenager and the ensuing indignity of a full trial, her life as a working mother and her ultimate success against all odds as one of the greatest painters of the Baroque age who transformed the way women were depicted in art and who was sought after in many courts across 17th-century Europe.

Pleasure At Her Majesty's was the name given to the filmed release of A Poke In The Eye (With A Sharp Stick), the first of the Amnesty International comedy benefit galas. The title is a play on the phrase At Her Majesty's Pleasure (the show was performed at Her Majesty's Theatre, London). In America, the film was originally called Monty Python Meets Beyond the Fringe.
This show came to be considered part of the Secret Policeman's Ball series of shows that it inspired, although it pre-dated the first show in the series by three years.
The event was organized by a team of three: Monty Python member John Cleese, Amnesty's Assistant Director Peter Luff and Transatlantic Records executive Martin Lewis. It featured the cream of Britain's comedic talent of the era, setting a precedent that would inspire many subsequent Amnesty galas, as well as Comic Relief. The concept was also the inspiration of similar events, also in aid of Amnesty International in countries around the world as far away as Australia, in the case of the Stand Up For Your Rights Comedy Galas.
The film consists of both on-stage and back-stage footage, taken from all three nights of the run (1–3 April 1976).
Luff and Lewis collaborated on producing the successor show - video-taped in 1977 as The Mermaid Frolics. Then Cleese and Lewis teamed up (with Amnesty's new fundraising director Peter Walker) in 1979 to create The Secret Policeman's Ball - the first show to carry what became the iconic Secret Policeman's Ball title.

哈莫修依，丹麦画家，Michael Palin就是被这位丹麦籍的画家给困惑了20年，在他眼中，这位Vilhelm Hammershoi是带着神秘、诡谲、出色的北欧艺术家。20年前，他参观了位在伦敦南华克区的Hayward Gallery，艺廊里正举办一项「Scandinavian Art」展览，因而第一次接触到Vilhelm Hammershoi这幅令他印象深刻的画作。但是那一次的接触，他并没有积极的寻找这位画家，一直到3年前，他又一次在巴黎的书店里发现了一本「Vilhelm Hammershoi，Danish painter of solitude and light」的画册，有他1997、1998年在哥本哈根、巴黎、纽约的展览作品介绍，其中大部分的作品是风景、人像、裸体等，以他特有的灰阶色调，介于传统与现代之间的画风，带着融合了Johannes Vermeer和Edward Hopper两人的风格，画出了自己的特色。
他形容Vilhelm Hammershoi是位不可捉摸的画家，他死后没有留下任何日记可供追溯，在死之前又销毁了所有的信件，被描述成一位羞怯、隐匿的人物。目前在英国仅有收藏他的两幅作品，一幅在National Gallery，另一幅在Tate Britain。
这次，Michael Palin决定好好的深入探就这位带着神秘感的丹麦画家，BBC1特别制播一集节目，在7月14日晚上10点35分播出。
