The Making of Monty Python and the Holy Grail (1975) | Movies in the Making Ep48 | 2025 Welcome to Movies in the Making! In today’s episode, we delve into the epic tale behind the creation of the 1975 fantasy comedy film Monty Python and the Holy Grail. Directed by Terry Jones and Terry Gilliam and starring the British comedy team Monty Python, which Jones and Gilliam were part of then, this film brought the iconic story of King Arthur to life in such a comedic way, incorporating minimalism garnered through a low budget. With the film's 50th anniversary re-release impending, we explore the fascinating inspirations, including why Graham Chapman of the group was chosen to portray King Arthur, how many Scottish university students became extras for the film and what happened to the Rabbit that portrayed the Rabbit of Caerbannog.
