On October 5, 1969, outrageous, unorthodox comedy struck the world. It was on this fateful day that Monty Python's Flying Circus debuted. From the Dead Parrot skit to the Lumberjack Song, The Attila the Hun Show to the Cheese Shop routine, the Pythons set a standard for irreverent, obnoxious, nonsensical comedy never before seen.The Silver Anniversary salute recounts the birth and four-year life of a Flying Circus television show, and describes the making of all the Python movies from And Now for Something Completely Different to Monty Python's The Meaning of Life. Through photographs, archival material, and exclusive interviews with John Cleese, Terry Gilliam, Eric Idle, Terry Jones, and Michael Palin, The Life of Python also traces the lives and successful solo careers of the Python members right up to the present.Shocking, amazing, and amusing, this is a revealing look at the extraordinary group of artists who made "shrubbery" a household word.
