I'm looking for a film, apparently involving the Monty Python team, but I don't know the name of it.
As far as I know, the poster shows a lifelike pig sitting next to a suited man, in colours mostly black and yellow/orange. The poster looked to be roughly in the 1980s era, though I'm not a good judge of timeframes.
The only other leads I have to the identity(?) of this film is the comment as follows;
"The pig is our ticket to happiness, to wealth, to prosperity, to the life we deserve. A not too well known Comedy, with a bunch of the Monty Python Crew involved. You'll feel the spirit".
I've looked through Wikidepdias filmography sections of each name listed on the Monty Python page, finding zero likely looking titles or film posters.
I've also searched 'the pig' monty python, as well as including the python surnames. Again, no likely results.
Does anyone know the film or some other way in which I can continue searching for it? The reason I'm so interested to find this film is that I'd saved a link to the recommending webpage which has since, in only 2 days, been removed from the internet. Not simply filtered with a content warning, nor removed with notice, but completely deleted from the server - which is entirely out of charcter for the site in question. The link only returns a 404 which, to a mind like mine, suggests it might be worth watching.
>>24782 That's exactly the one, thank you! Looks like my memory of the poster was somewhat off. Looks like Michael Palin is the only connection to Monty Python.
Synopsis:
In a small town in Northern England in 1947, the citizens endure continuing food rationing. Some local businessmen want to hold a party to celebrate the royal Wedding of Princess Elizabeth to Prince Philip and illegally decide to raise a pig for that occasion. However, the pig is stolen by Gilbert Chilvers, who was encouraged to do so by his wife Joyce. Meanwhile, the local food inspector is determined to stop activities circumventing the food rationing.
I wonder why something like that would have been removed from the social media website? You could talk about how a royal appointment during a national crisis inspires a conspiracy among the people but it seems somewhat of a stretch .. surely?
>>24781 Thanks for pointing it out - I hadn't considered that.
>>24781 Should every day be treated like April Fool's Day?
When you go on a news website on the first of April you're always trying to work out which one is the joke article, so you spend more time critically evaluating the rest to see if they're legit.
