MONTY PYTHON Monty Python: A Critical Review (2009 UK 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 and 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. Along with extensive insights from Neil Innes, Python's warm up man, stand-in and minstrel, the DVD also draws on rare archive footage alongside analysis from a leading team of comedians, journalists and critics including Alexi Sayle, Tom Binns, Ian Stone and of course, Neil. Complete with a highly detailed 72-page book featuring a thorough review of the work of Monty Python on television, on record on stage and on film, tracing the group's profound influence upon British and American comedy!)
