The Misadventures of Mr. Wilt Summary Based on the novel by Tom Sharpe, The Misadventures of Mr. Wilt reunites the considerable comic talents of Mel Smith and Griff Rhys Jones in a farcical tale of a missing wife, an overzealous law enforcement officer, and a blow-up doll. The titular hero Henry Wilt (Jones) is a liberal studies lecturer condemned to teaching students on day-release from the local pie factory. As if this wasn't demoralizing enough, he is regularly emasculated by his bossy wife, Eva (Alison Steadman); after a particularly embarrassing party he finds himself in possession of an inflatable playmate which he unceremoniously dumps at a local building site. Unfortunately, not only is he spotted, but his wife goes missing the same day, leaving a very tenacious Inspector Flint (Smith) determined to catch this suburban criminal. Jones is superb as the hen-pecked husband and Smith pulls of a fantastically clichéd, but hugely entertaining PC plod. It's a minor British comedy gem from a time when Four Weddings and a Funeral was merely a glint in Richard Curtis's eye. --Kristen Bowditch
