Reader Reviews:


3/5 stars

And now for something completely different (1/1 people found this helpful)

A useful book when not in the vicinity of a VCR or DVD player, however it is merely a transcript of the film with no extras. It could perhaps be improved with some stills to liven it up.

However it serves its purpose well but is perhaps only of real interest to a massive python fan.

5/5 stars

Try not to smile while reading this book! (1/1 people found this helpful)

Even though it has been about two years since I've watched the movie, this book brings back every memory of it! The script is superb and if you've seen the movie, you'll visualize each scene as it happens while reading this book. Even though the book doesn't contain any 'extras', it's worth every penny - the script will have you in stitches! "What, ridden on a horse?" ... "You're using two empty halves of coconuts and banging them together." Need I say more? :)

4/5 stars

Monty Python, Holy Grail film script! (0/0 people found this helpful)

This is a fantastic book, not only containing the script, but also photos from the film, sketches, diagrams and out takes, and old copies of the original script, absolutely fantastic, highly recommended!

4/5 stars

Rare look at the metamorphosis of a script (0/0 people found this helpful)

It's rare that you get to see a script come together from first draft to final product and all the stages in between. Some of the ideas, dialogue and sketches which never made it to the film are as funny as the very silly cinematic Grail hunt would prove to be, a comedy classic. Enjoy seeing the creative process in action, reading your favorite bits, and even spot a few bits that were to become sketches in the fourth season. A must for any Python fan.
