Movie Reviews of Monty Python's Flying Circus, Set 4, Eps. 20-26
Movie Review: Monty Python at it's best! But..Screw A&E
Summary: 5 Stars
This is perhaps one of the best sets in the entire collection. Contains such classics as "How Not To Be Seen", "Dirty Hungarian Phrasebook", "Spam", "Scott of the Antarctic" and quirky one's like "French Subtitled Film", and a personal favorite "It All Happened on the 11:20 From Hainault" and an apperance from Mr. Luxary Yacht..(Throat wobbler mangrove!) If you don't have this set, you are missing a ton of the greatest sketches in MP History!
****Unfortunately, A &E thinks it has the right to censor things on this set, and other sets...they totally cut the sketch with Eric Idle and Michael Palin as judges in lingerie. If you've never seen the sketch, you can tell because it just fades out in the middle of the sketch.
The original full sketch can be seen on the Live at the Hollywood Bowl version. This is insanely irritating and makes me angry that A&E would make us pay full price for so called "originals" that aren't the full versions. however..these are the only one's available, but do what I did, and write A&E a complaint letter online..it might help..who knows..peace
Summary of Monty Python's Flying Circus, Set 4, Eps. 20-26
Contains: spam the idiot in society the bruces killer sheep an exploding penguine on the telly scott of the antarctic and the conquistador coffee campaign. Studio: A&e Home Video Release Date: 08/22/2000 Run time: 237 minutes Rating: NrMore "humorous vignettes and spoofs" from the second groundbreaking season of Monty Python's Flying Circus. This set contains episodes?20 through 26, available for the first time on DVD in chronological order. Included are signature sketches that were adapted for the Pythons' first film, And Now for Something Completely Different, such as How Not to Be Seen, Conrad Poohs and His Dancing Teeth, the camped-up military drill, and the alleged English-Hungarian phrasebook (the Hungarian phrase meaning "Can you direct me to the station?" is translated by the English phrase "Please fondle my bum"). Also on the menu are such tasty classics as Spam; the Lifeboat and Undertaker cannibalism sketches and spam; spam, spam, the Man Who Says Things in a Very Roundabout Way and spam; Spam, spam, the Hospital for Over-Acting and spam; spam, The Exploding Version of the Blue Danube and spam; The Death of Mary Queen of Scots and spam. "And, of course, there's sport." Not content with forgoing traditional punch lines, Monty Python further subverted television convention with these episodes. In Episode?23, for example, the credits don't appear until midway through. They further demonstrate why Entertainment Weekly ranked Monty Python No.?77 (only 77th?) among the top 100 entertainers of the last half of the 20th century. --Donald Liebenson
