Monty Python's The Meaning of Life is the tie-in companion book to the final film by Monty Python.[1] It contains the screenplay, illustrated by many colour stills from the film.
The book contains sections of the film which were cut before the premiere, including "The Adventures of Martin Luther", which was later reinstated for the film's 20th anniversary "Director's Cut" DVD release in 2003. The Crimson Permanent Assurance is placed where it was to originally appear in the film, before it was excised and presented as the supporting feature.
The book concludes with a correspondence of letters between John Cleese and The Sun newspaper, regarding an alleged incident during the film's shooting.
