The Best of Benny Hill
This movie is similar to the 1971 film "And Now For Something Completely Different" which was a film spinoff from the television comedy series "Monty Python's Flying Circus" featuring sketches from the first two seasons. The difference is that the Pythons recreated all the sketches while this theatrical release used clips from the original shows. The original programmes were shot on videotape (studio interiors) and 16 mm film (location footage); the videotaped material was transferred to 35 mm film as a telerecording, and the 16 mm footage was blown up to 35 mm.
