Monty Python and the Holy Grail Movie Review 1975

Britain's famed comedy band assaults the Arthurian legend in a cult classic replete with a Trojan rabbit and an utterly dismembered, but inevitably pugnacious, knight. Fans of manic comedy--and graphic violence--should get more than their fill here.
