The man who gave Python its music finally gets his solo.
Sean Connors Films, Ltd. Presents a Frozen Pictures production of The Seventh Python, a nonfiction musical feature film based on the life, work and unplanned career of musical satirist Neil Innes. The Seventh Python traces one man’s winding path of whimsy as he flirts with destiny at the edge of fame with incredibly influential and unusually lasting work that keeps one foot each planted in the worlds of comedy and rock ‘n’ roll. From the Bonzo Dog Doo Dah Band to Monty Python's Flying Circus and The Rutles, to his Ego Warrior campaign and his insistence on wearing a plastic duck on his head, Neil Innes has proven to be the greatest musical comedy satirist of the past fifty years.
Acting
Innes himself — charming, self-deprecating, duck-hatted.
Direction
Kearns lets legends talk, wisely stays out of the way.
Director
Burt Kearns
Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
George Harrison loved The Rutles so much he financed 'All You Need Is Cash' and appeared in it as a reporter.
Innes wrote nearly every original song in Monty Python's Flying Circus yet was never officially a Python — the 'seventh' title is both honor and slight.
