MONTY PYTHON AND THE HOLY GRAIL To Debut On 4K UHD for 50th Anniversary

In celebration of its 50th anniversary, the classic comedy film Monty Python and the Holy Grail will make its debut on 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray as part of a special limited edition Steelbook release, hitting shelves on August 26.

Once in a lifetime, there comes a motion picture that changes the whole history of motion pictures. A picture so stunning in its effect, so vast in its impact that it profoundly affects the lives of those who see it. That picture might well be Monty Python and the Holy Grail​​​​​​, originally released in 1975, and featuring the entire Python gang in this hilarious retelling of the Knights of KING Arthur and their quest for the Holy Grail.

Monty Python remains one of the most iconic comedy collectives of all time, influencing generations across theatre, music, TV, and film. Formed in 1969, members Graham Chapman, John Cleese, Terry Gilliam, Eric Idle, Terry Jones, and Michael Palin rose to prominence with their sketch comedy TV series Monty Python’s Flying Circus.

In 2005, Python came to Broadway with the premiere of Spamalot, a retooling of the film. The show returned to Broadway in 2023, with a cast that included James Monroe Iglehart, Christopher Fitzgerald, Ethan Slater, Taran Killam, Leslie Rodriguez Kritzer, Michael Urie, Nik Walker, Jimmy Smagula, and more.
