...Amazing, the staying power of a TV cult. From Oct. 1969 to Dec. 1974, when the four seasons of Monty Python's Flying Circus were running on BBC, you couldn't see the show in the U.S. The Pythons - composed of Graham Chapman, John Cleese, Terry Gilliam, Eric Idle, Terry Jones and Michael Palin - had made a film of their best early skits, called And Now for Something Completely Different, but they were barely known in these parts when the Holy Grail film opened here.

It reminds me of the devil’s intrusion into Moscow in the Master and Margarita and, in particular, the scene when Woland is at the circus, whipping the citizens of the city into a terrifying frenzy by removing their clothes and turning them into animals...
