Movie Night at the Museum brings Monty Python to the screen

The quest for the holy grail continues at Movie Night at the Museum. 

After three years on the small screen, the British comedy team behind the BBC’s “Monty Python’s Flying Circus” brought the legends of King Arthur to the big screen in the 1975 comedy “Monty Python and the Holy Grail.” The movie will be shown at the Northwest Montana History Museum at 7 p.m. Sept. 24. 

Written and performed by the members of the Monty Python comedy group, including Graham Chapman, John Cleese, Terry Gilliam, Eric Idle, Terry Jones, and Michael Palin, the film was the feature directorial debut for Gilliam and Jones. It was filmed during the break between the third and fourth series of the troupe’s popular television show.
