The Monty Python's Flying Circus team's first big-screen guffaw is a rerun of some of their famous TV sketches. The anarchic battiness of these early sketches doesn't quite hold up; the later efforts, in which the Pythons harnessed humour into a mock-historical context, were more successful. But it's fun to see Cleese, Palin, Idle and all in the loopy pomp of their youth.
