The Album of the Soundtrack of the Trailer of the Film of Monty Python and the Holy Grail The Album of the Soundtrack of the Trailer of the Film of Monty Python and the Holy Grail The Album of the Soundtrack of the Trailer of the Film of Monty Python and the Holy Grail is the first film soundtrack album by Monty Python, released in 1975. It features selected scenes from "Monty Python and the Holy Grail" interspersed with a large volume of new studio material, much of which centers on a spoof screening of the film at the Classic Silbury Hill Theatre.

Black Knight (Monty Python) Black Knight (Monty Python) The Black Knight is a fictional character who appears in a scene of the feature film "Monty Python and the Holy Grail". As his name suggests, he is a knight dressed in black and behaves similarly to the standard character, a black knight. He guards a "bridge" (in reality a short plank of wood) over a small stream — which could have been easily stepped over by King Arthur but, for unknown reasons, he does not. Although supremely skilled in swordplay, the Black Knight suffers from unchecked overconfidence and a staunch refusal ever to give up.
