Rated: PG; Genre: Comedy; With: Monty Python's Flying Circus; Distributor: Columbia Pictures

The Python crew's second feature takes an irreverent knife to one of the most cherished myths of its native England: King Arthur and his Round Table. Creating a land populated by killer rabbits, shrubeery-seeking warriors, holy hand grenades, and vulgar Frenchmen, Cleese & Co.'s manic reworking of Shakespeare's sceptered isle raises silliness to high art.
