Back in the mid-70’s CBS had a regular late movie that they ran opposite Johnny Carson. Sometimes I would watch it (I was a teenager and they had a lot of good horror movies). One night the movie was Monty Python and the Holy Grail. I’d never heard of MP and in fact ALMOST switched it off. The opening credits you see were very messed up, surely a bad sign...

The Holy Grail was most definitely weird. A tough one for a first timer. But every skit was the best. An movie that has to be seen a dozen times to get the humor.

I remember laughing my head off while dads students were visiting us and during the skit with the Scotsman that was a secret weapon; a bomb. The bagpipes would start playing, everyone would panic, and the only way to diffuse the Scotsman was to remove his head and put it in a bucket of whiskey. Nutty in the extreme and even worse that my dad’s students didn’t get the humor. I was the only one laughing.

The first time I saw a partially naked woman (top, only) was the skit with the businessman going to work. Paraphrasing. Don’t remember the exact name. I was shocked! Only slightly. LOL.
