And Now for Something Completely Different

And Now for Something Completely Different. 1971 Columbia Pictures & Python (Monty) Pictures.
Starring: Graham Chapman, John Cleese, Terry Gilliam, Eric Idle, Terry Jones, Michael Palin, Carol Cleveland, Connie Booth
Director: Ian McNaughton
Buy And Now for Something Completely Different at Amazon.

Monty Python's first movie is a compilation film composed of some of their best sketches (some of them slightly different from the television broadcasts) from the first two seasons of Monty Python's Flying Circus, and it was produced with the intent of introducing Python to American audiences. Oddly enough, the film was more successful in England.

In 1974, after PBS began showing the TV series, the movie was re-released, and was more successful.

Recommended, but if you've seen the original source material from the TV show enough, skip it.
