Please Read This Bit Before Reading The Screenplay:This is the official 'Unoffical' Monty Python And The Holy Grailscreenplay.This file contains the script as it was on March 20 1974, before filmingtook place. There are many minor differences from what appears here andwhat ended up on the screen. This file also contains cut scenes and linesfrom the film.I tried to preserve as much of the screenplay as possible but it isn'teasy to cross out a section and pencil in new dialogue, in ASCII.Any Scene or dialogue that was crossed out begins with a "|" before it.Anything Penciled in has a "+", I also put cut information before penciledin.What is interesting about a screenplay is to see what they threw out andwhat "Catch Phrases" were literally penciled in. The reason I keyed inthis file was caused by me downloading current transcript goingaround internet. It was an amazing job... I wouldn't want to haveattempted what he did... But it wasn't in a good script format and I didn'tlike how direction was written in. Since I HAD the real screenplay Ithought... What the hell!After This I plan to key in "Monty Python's Second Film" it is the 1stdraft of the Holy Grail. It is the script that eventually got canabalizedinto sketches for the 4th season of Python. It Is sill quite different andwell worth a read. Is anybody interested in it?????Oh yes... I will STRESS this fact once more... THIS IS A SCREENPLAY... Sodon't yell at me if a line is paraphrased in the film... This is what waswritten before filming took place and it is still quite accurate.Enough of this...-Grue (09-Aug-92)P.S. TO AHH: DON'T YOU KNOW WHO CONNIE BOOTH OR CAROL CLEVELAND IS?!?!?!AND DON'T YOU KNOW WHAT GRAHAM CHAPMAN SOUNDS LIKE?!?!?! Sorry I just hadto say that...
