Ep 4. The Ultimate Holy Grail Episode

The fourth part of the documentary begins with the Pythons finally making their arrival in the United States. After much time, money, and to Clesse's amazement, Flying Circus was a regular on PBS. Being fed up with TV the Python's pushed into a different medium, film. Their first film was a collaboration of their most famous sketches and was shown in the States. Although successful, the Python's disdainfully talk about their thirst for film not being quenched and striving for something completely different. And so Monty Python and the Holy Grail was written. The group looks back in amazement that the film came out as brilliant as it did, with Chapman in the prime of his alcohol dependency and Cleese who begrudgingly admits to being a bit of a diva. Idle adds that the film was greatly rushed and got terrible first reactions at the prescreening. The Python group can't help but laugh as they reminisce about their worries, before the premiere and the joy they felt by its almost immediate commercial success after. British Comedian Phill Jupitus and other celebrities discuss the films impact on them, as well as comedic films forever.
