================================================
"Meetings, Bloody Meetings" is not a Monty Python film.  It was made in
1975 by Video Arts, a company in which John Cleese had a financial
interest.  They made quite a few instructional films for businessmen, with
Cleese writing and/or appearing in them.  The vast majority of them were
humorous.  Apparently no other Monty Python personnel were involved, but
other British comic talents were, including some of the folks from "Fawlty
Towers."  Try calling the Video Arts US office at (708) 291-1008 to find
out more info about renting/obtaining a copy.  (708 is a new area code for
Chicago suburbs.)
