Did you happen to record Monty Python’s Flying Circus when it was shown on PBS back in the 1970s? Do you still have the tapes? Is there a TIME LIFE logo at the end? If so, please write to me. Thank you!

THE WORKS OF TINTO BRASS

Winning Accolades — Continued

Il tempo lavorativo

(Work Time, 1964)

and

Il tempo libero

(Leisure Time, 1964)

Umberto Eco was sufficiently impressed by Chi lavora è perduto to commission Brass to make these two 10-minute documentaries for the 1964 Milano Fair. Both utilized only archival footage, each shot only held on for only a few frames (a fraction of a second), and they were shown in twin pyramids whose interiors consisted entirely of mirrors. Upon entering, the audience were bombarded with images. We are offering a bounty for good video copies of these films. If you know where we can get them, write to us. Thanks! (The tail end of one of these films, Il tempo lavorativo, is excerpted in Brass’s Monamour.)
