DVD Reviews of Monty Python: The Other British Invasion
DVD Review: Not The Usual Rubbish! ( Mostly. )
Summary: 4 Stars
As with most documentaries on Monty Python , they tend to drone on too long , or just repititiously cover the same old garbage. ( Yes, we get it , "Dead Parrot" inspired by "Automobile Sketch" from "How To Irritate People"...now,move on. )
Apparently this affordably priced , double DVD , was part of the most recent A&E rip-off of a "Complete" Monty Python box set. ( More the fool you who bought it a Second time! ). So, it's nice to buy it seperately.
Disc. 1 is a pretty good, black and white documentary on the "Pre-Python" era.It has some additional , "unseen" ( well by most U.S. viewers , and certainly not on previous DVDs ), footage from things like "The Complete & Utter History of Britain" , and Michael Palin's earliest television pantomime items. ( It would be nice to have these full items on DVD! < HINT HINT > ). It also has some good interviews with folks like Ronnie Corbett , Robert Hewison ,and others of their ilk. This disc. features the BEST Bonus materials I've seen in a long time! First there is Terry Gilliam going over the opening credits animations for all 4 Series , and it's quite amusing to have his imput. ( Even if he's forgotten some of the inspirations.) Second is a MISSING SKETCH! Yes! Though broadcast on KQED every showing , and long denied as existing by A&E ( Thus missing from the above mentioned "Incomplete" Mega-Set. ) , "A Party Political Broadcast For The Conservative Party" - featuring John Cleese in a choreographed announcement.Originally shown in the "A Book At Bedtime / Penguins / Kamikaze Highlanders" episode , it is presented here in a scratchy form , but it's the only officially relased version - so that's good to have.
Disc.2 is in Colour. And follows the Canadian & American invasion , with informed interviews by Nancy Lewis ,Ron DeVellier , Tony Smith , Carl Reiner , and more current American comedians. Featuring a lot of Python home videos , and some rarely seen appearances on 1975/76 US television shows ( Sadly NOT "The Tonight Show" or "The Midnight Special" appearances.). This is a well done documentary , that doesn't beat anything to death too much. Now if A&E would release Python's promotional films , ( Birdseye Frozen Foods , Hairspray , etc. ), and short films ( A History of Flight , The Box , etc. ), we'd all be happy little completists!
