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.

Viewing Notes
Should be in my childhood movies project even though I’m sure I’ve seen this since then it has been a long while ~15+ years. Actually it’s probably been longer. A lot of the film I had forgotten but a few of the skits have stuck with me. Nice to see on the big screen with an audience that loves Monty Python even if I’m not a big MP fan. I definitely appreciate the talent of that troupe. Cleese, Palin and Idle are the best performances in this movie.
