Born on the original Christmas in the stable next door to Jesus, Brian of Nazareth spends his life being mistaken for a messiah.
Deliberately blasphemous and provocative, but also hilarious Monty Python comedy, probably the team's most coherent feature concerning plot and theme.
Halliwell***: "Controversial middle-eastern romp which left its creators battered but extremely wealthy. In the face of such an onslaught of bad taste, criticism seems irrelevant."
Maltin***: "This Monty Python religious parable will probably offend every denomination equally, but it shouldn't. ...the funniest and most sustained feature from Britain's bad boys."
