Sybil was marvelous. Manuel also. John Cleese did exactly what he was supposed to do...he took his character totally over the top. Was it subtle? No. Was it funny? Yes. The man was running what was clearly THE most badly run bed and breakfast in all of the UK, probably in the entire WORLD, and he was persisting with it. That, to me, was funny.

How about Danny Kaye? Was he English or North American?
