(Monty Python) AND NOW FOR SOMETHING COMPLETELY DIFFERENT (1972) Photo archive

Monty Python. And Now for Something Completely Different. 1972. [Los Angeles]: Columbia Pictures, 1972. Set of 9 vintage original 8 x 10″ (20 x 25 cm) black-and-white photos with agency stickers on verso, overall just about fine.

Monty Python‘s first theatrical feature, released on 28 September 1971 in the United Kingdom and 22 August 1972 in the United States, consists of 90 minutes of sketches and animation sequences seen in the first two series of the television show. All of the sketches were recreated for the film without an audience, and were intended for an American audience which had not yet seen the series. The announcer (John Cleese) appears briefly between some sketches to deliver the line “and now for something completely different”, in situations such as being roasted on a spit and lying on top of a desk in a small pink bikini, as well as the Colonel (Graham Chapman) interrupting them and deeming them “too silly”.
