There were lines outside before the film, everyone expecting a good Python flick; literally half the auditorium walked out after the first 15 minutes. bill frolik hp-pcd!bill

You must not be a real Python fan! This was one of the best movies I ever saw. Don't you remember the dead parrot skit. That is a classic!

PLEASE tell me that you're not serious about "Monty Python meets Beyond the Fringe" being any less than hideous. It was heavily promoted and shown at MIT (home of many Python freaks) as being the "New England Premiere." The film committee *BURNED* the film after showing it (five showings in one night to satisfy the crowd who hadn't seen it) and having most of every audience walk out. They warned audiences (after the first) as they went in, but noone (myself included) could believe that it wouldn't be worth the 75 cents they were charging. It wasn't. You should be paid WELL if you are ever forced to watch this fiasco. Pete LaMaster BTL NJ 201-949-0040
