Here are some of the recent and more notable additions to the Monty
Python Bibliography. This bibliography was created to help Python
fans keep track of Monty Python memorabilia. It is brought to you by
the makers of Monty Python's Daily Llama and is now, of course, also
a part of PythOnline.
 MONTY
PYTHON'S THE MEANING OF LIFE - MCA/Universal Home Video just
re-released this Python film on video in the United States. This 1983
classic features some of the Pythons' most outrageous sketches, and
with a much larger budget to boot! This re-release by MCA/Universal
features a slightly different cover than their 1991 edition. Newsweek
rated this "the best movie from England's satirical sextet."
The film also won the 1983 Cannes Film Festival Special Jury award.
MONTY PYTHON'S THE MEANING OF LIFE - Celandine
Films, distributed by MCA Universal Home Video (1996), 71016 (ISBN
1-55880-676-8), 108 minutes
 YELLOWBEARD
- For the first time in ten years, "Yellowbeard" has been
made available again on video. Orion Home Video has re-released this
Graham Chapman film in Extended Play format in the United States. This
is welcome news, in deed, as the film has been out-of-print for some
time. It stars Graham Chapman, Eric Idle, and John Cleese (as well as
a huge cast of other British and American comedians). Monty Python's
Daily Llama Issue Number 5 also devoted considerable attention to this
film and a special "Group Madness: The Making of Yellowbeard"
documentary is now also available.
YELLOWBEARD - Hemdale Films / Orion Pictures,
distributed by Orion Home Video (1996), 8304 (ISBN 1-56255-247-3),
97 minutes
