Monty Python's The Meaning of Life

Monty Python's The Meaning of Life

It took God six days to create the heavens and the earth...and Monty Python ninety minutes to screw it up.

Life's questions are 'answered' in a series of outrageous vignettes, beginning with a staid London insurance company which transforms before our eyes into a pirate ship. Then there's the National Health doctors who try to claim a healthy liver from a still-living donor. The world's most voracious glutton brings the art of vomiting to new heights before his spectacular demise.
