Overview | description: (R) ANCHOR BAY, 1979, 93 Minutes Starring: Terry Jones, Graham Chapman, Michael Palin, John Cleese, Eric Idle Director: Terry Jones On a Midnight Clear 2000 years ago, three wise men enter a manger where a babe is wrapped in swaddling clothes. It is an infant called Brian...and the three wise men are in the wrong manger. For the rest of his life, Brian (Graham Chapman) finds himself regarded as something of a Messiah--yet he's always in the shadow of this Other Guy from Galilee. Brian is witness to the Sermon of the Mount, but his seat is in such a bad location that he can't hear any of it ("Blessed are the cheesemakers?"). Ultimately he is brought before Pontius Pilate and sentenced to crucifixion, which takes place at that crowded, non-exclusive execution site a few blocks shy of Calvary. Rather than utter the Last Six Words, Brian leads his fellow crucifixees in a spirited rendition of a British music hall cheer-up song "Always Look On The Bright Side of Life." The whole Monty Python gang (Chapman, John Cleese, Michael Palin, Eric Idle, and Terry Gilliam) are on hand in multiple roles, playing such sacred characters as Stan Called Loretta, Deadly Dirk, Casts the First Stone, and Intensely Dull Youth; also showing up are Goon Show veteran Spike Milligan and a Liverpool musician named George Harrison. -- Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide Starring Cast Terry Jones: Mandy Graham Chapman: Brian Called Brian Michael Palin: Wise Man John Cleese: Wise Man Eric Idle: Mr. Kenneth Colley: Jesus the Christ Spike Milligan: Spike Supporting Cast George Harrison: Mr. Papadopoulis Gwen Taylor: Woman with Sick Donkey / Mrs. Big Nose / Young Girl Terry Gilliam: Person / Masked / Jailer, Prophet / Revolutionary Terence Bayler: Revolutionary/Masked Commando Peter Brett Graham Chapman: 1st Wise Man John Cleese: Official / Centurion Carol Cleveland: Mrs. Gregory / Elsie Eric Idle: Stan/Loretta, Mr Cheeky Neil Innes: Samaritan at the Forum Susan Jones: Judith Terry Jones: Colin / Passerby / Bob Hoskins / Simon Charles Knode: Passer-By Chris Langham: Alfonso / Guard / Commando / Revolutionary Andrew Maclachlan: Helper / Guard / Commando / Revolutionary Bernard McKenna: Centurion / Official Stoner's Helper Charles McKeown: Guard / Stig / Commando / Revolutionary Monty Python Cast Michael Palin: Pontius Pilate, Francis, minor roles / Francis / Big Nose John Young: Stonee Production Credits Terry Jones: Director / Screenwriter George Harrison: Executive Producer Denis O'Brien: Executive Producer John Goldstone: Producer Graham Chapman: Screenwriter John Cleese: Screenwriter Terry Gilliam: Screenwriter / Animator Eric Idle: Screenwriter / Composer (Music Score) Michael Palin: Screenwriter Peter Biziou: Cinematographer Geoffrey Burgon: Composer (Music Score) Julian Doyle: Editor John Beard: Art Director Roger Christian: Art Director Tim Hampton: Associate Producer Charles Knode: Costume Designer Hazel Pethig: Costume Designer Jonathan Benson: First Assistant Director John Stanier: Camera Operator Garth Marshall: Sound/Sound Designer availability: in stock Usually ships within 5 - 7 business days brand: ANH
