Overview

The Monty Python comedy troupe presents the meaning of life in their own twisted way, through a series of hilarious, often tasteless vignettes, each representing a stage of life, from birth to death. Highlights include the machine that goes 'ping', the gluttonous Mr. Creosote, and a very angry Grim Reaper.
