Monty Python - "Who's there?"

(most of) Monty Python - "Who's there?" (1970/1)

[@Future_Phoenix]

Wow, something I've actually never seen before.

[@hilaryepstein6013]

This is amazing. I was only reading about this film the other day and here it is! It was made in October 1971 as a training film for Labour Party canvassers, requested by a friend of John's. A real delight to see a "new" Python film and nice to see Graham being part Yorkshireman and part working class playwright from Hampstead. The narrator is Michael Parkinson.

[@mariaalejandra2913]

Thank you so much for this!

[@etrisb]

Excellent. And they borrowed a bit from "Four Yorkshiremen."

[@haileyshannon7548]

which originally appeared on "At Last the 1948 Show" I hoped they thanked Tim Brooke-Taylor and Marty Feldman!

[@f0urstr1ng]

Yep. They borrowed the whole sketch.

I shall say ni until I find the bit about mollusks, the welk is one of the best bits ever. Or maybe it's all the acid I took back then.

[@macsnafu]

This is too straightforward. I suspect this was used as an actual training video for political canvassers.

[@Tim.Weaver]

Yes, that's exactly what it was. Cleese's company Video Arts also produced loads of industrial training films which were shown to employees attending work-related courses. They had a serious purpose, but used Pythonesque humour to keep the bored delegates engaged.

[@theblueacorn]

Mr Cleese is 27 here

[@OtisNotibrus]

Nah, he would be 30.

[@Manx123]

Except the scenes with Cleese, this was pretty unfunny crap. I guess it's sort-of funnier when you realize Labour lost that GE, lol

[@TheMontyPythonMuseumOnline]

It used to be extremely rare though - you're welcome.
