“And now ! At Last ! Another film completely different from some of the other films which aren’t quite the same as this one is.”

Immediately recognisable as a ‘Python’ design and hugely sought after by the film’s hardcore and loyal fan base. Originally rolled (as issued) this superb example presents and displays to excellent effect & represents a really fine and affordable item of original British movie memorabilia for the film that “makes Ben Hur look like an epic”.
Trivia: Though he was renowned as the most restrained and unflappable of the Pythons, when Sir Michael Palin was asked to do a seventh take of the scene where he crawls through mud, he had, in his own words, “A jolly good blow-up.” John Cleese and Graham Chapman were so astonished that they gave him a round of applause.

Trivia: A reason for filming under the guise of non-descript horror movie title, “Blue Harvest” was partly to put off any snoopers, and also because the production found out that if they mentioned they were working on the next Star Wars movie, suppliers would automatically ramp up their prices, assuming that money was no object for Lucasfilm.
