Monty Python's Graham Chapman - Looks Like A Brown Trouser Job
In what is surely the most laconic comedy concert film ever made, Graham Chapman of theMonty Pythontroupe entertains worshipful audiences of college students during a 1988 tour of the United States. Chapman proves a warm and delightfulraconteuras he recalls skiing down a Swiss mountainside in a wooden gondola, Keith Moon (drummer for rock band the Who) using explosives to chastize a hotel manager, and appeaing naked during the filming ofMonty Python's Life of Brian. Be warned: As the packaging is quick to note, the film and audio quality are not professional; this is virtually a home movie. Nonetheless, Chapman's relaxed poise and impeccable deadpan delivery give his stories a dry wit that any Python fan will enjoy. The extras, in addition to having further samples from the question-and-answer sessions with the audience, includes footage of Chapman being hurled into the air by industrial elastic and an Iron Maiden video in which he appears as a stern schoolmaster.--Bret Fetzer
