Starring Graham Chapman, John Cleese, Eric Idle, Terry Jones and Michael Palin
with Carol Cleveland, Connie Booth.

Thrill again to 'Hell's Grannies', 'The Upper Class Twit of the Year Race', the panel game 'Blackmail' and many more episodes as the Monty Python 'gang' recreate and enlarge upon highlights of their phenomenally successful 'Flying Circus' shows. The anarchic humour, the bad taste, the parodies come thick and fast in this off-beat comedy.
This late feature film also includes such classic sequences as 'Say no More, Nudge, Nudge', 'Inflammatory Hungarian Phrase-book' and 'The Townswomen's Guild Reconstruction of Pearl Harbor'
(First showing on British television)
