Page "Comedy film" Paragraph 57

Most British comedy films of the early 1970s were spin-offs of television series, including Dad's Army and On the Buses.

The greatest successes, however, came with the films of the Monty Python team, including And Now for Something Completely Different ( 1971 ), Monty Python and the Holy Grail ( 1975 ) and Monty Python's Life of Brian in 1979.
