The Mr. Creosote sketch from Monty Python’s The Meaning of Life went viral this weekend after director Quentin Tarantino was alleged to have said it’s the only scene in film he was ever disturbed by. Watching it, it struck me that I’d never actually seen the whole thing, and that you might not have, either.
I read somewhere, perhaps Michael Palin’s autobiography, that under the hot studio lights and the long, technical takes, the food matter on the set began to reek and one of the extras vomited for real.
