Magnificent 7 Deadly Sins (Blu-ray) ***Preorder*** 6/10

A madcap satire of English propriety, Graham Stark’s The Magnificent Seven Deadly Sins unleashes Britain’s naughtiest bawdiest comedians upon the capital vices. While it may fall short of its claim of being “The funniest film with the greatest all-star comedy cast ever,” its abundant sight gags and double entendres make it the perfect specimen a unique form of risqué humor -- and a veritable Who’s Who of 1960s British comedy. With its episodic structure, animated interstitials and script work by Graham Chapman, the film often evokes the irreverent spirit of Monty Python’s Flying Circus, but the comedy of The Magnificent Seven Deadly Sins is of a kinder and gentler nature, expressing a warm nostalgia for simpler times, before the sexual revolution turned such lovable comedians into cultural dinosaurs.
