Director: Aubrey Powell
Writers: Eric Idle, John Du Prez
Stars: Eric Idle, Michael Palin, Terry Jones, Terry Gilliam.
No songs listed in the Soundtracks, but very little is spoken.
There's very little to see here; just folks in formal wear playing instruments or singing. There are a few exceptions, especially Palin, but they are very brief. This might as well have been a CD.
It might help to watch Life of Brian before viewing this. There are references to other skits of Python, notably the Lumberjack song. Of course, if you decide to watch all of Python in chronological order, this will be last, and maybe you'll pick up all the references.
Wasn't there a "last song" in Spamalot too, namely a lengthy song all about a trite obligatory show song of some sort?
Manages to make Python tedious.
