Midnight Snack

Following the controversial success of THE LIFE OF BRIAN (1979), the British comedy troupe Monty Python returned to their sketch comedy roots with this dark, rude and pointed consideration of life, death and some of the in-between. Memorable moments include Terry Jones as Mr. Creosote demonstrating the dangers of gluttony; a sex-education class taught by schoolmaster John Cleese; Eric Idle delivering his outrageous "Not Noel Coward Song"; and the uplifting song-and-dance number "Every Sperm Is Sacred." Terry Jones and Terry Gilliam direct.
