"The Extraordinarily expressive talents of Lee Evans.. make Mr. Polly an unforgettable character." - The Hollywood Reporter
The legendary H>G> Wells created this fanciful Victorian tale of Alfred Polly (Lee Evans -There's Something About Mary), an ordinary man who, rather than pursuing his dreams, follows a conventional path in life and finds himself desperately unhappy. Burdened with a nagging wife (Anne-Marie Duff - Notes on a Scandal) and a failing business, his unbearable desperation spurs him to take violently drastic action to end it all - but action is exactly what is needed to transform the existence of a weak-willed fool into the life of a gallant, adventurous here.
