Monty Python - In the Beginning (+ Buch) - DVD

This is the first independent film review of the roots of Monty Python exploring how the unique comedy of Python grew out of the At Last The 1948 show and Do Not Adjust Your Set.
The film assesses in detail the reasons for Python's successes and failures and surveys the lasting impact of this British institution. Also featured are extensive insights from Neil Innes, Python's warm up man, stand-in and minstrel. Neil, along with Douglas Adams, was one of the only two outsiders to contribute material to the Python TV series. The DVD compares extensive surviving examples of the early work of the Pythons working in separate camps with the mature TV series and films produced by the group as a whole.
