Welsh Mayor Wants Town's Ban on "Life of Brian" Lifted

By Howard M. Friedman

ADVERTISEMENTS
In Britain, Sue Jones-Davies, mayor of the Welsh town of Aberystwyth, wants her town to lift its nearly 30-year old ban on the Monty Python movie, Life of Brian. BBC News reported the story on Saturday. Long before becoming mayor, Jones-Davies was in the movie, playing a revolutionary named Judith Iscariot. She was featured in a nude scene with the film's hero, Brian. A number of areas in Wales banned the movie as blasphemous in 1979. Urging that the ban be lifted, Jones-Davies said: "I would like to think that any religion would have the generosity to see the film for what it is, which is a comedy." [Thanks to Scott Mange for the lead.]
