Halfway to Hollywood: Diaries 1980 - 1988 - Michael Palin

The 1980s was a decade in which the ties binding the Pythons loosened-they made their last film, Monty Python's Meaning of Life in 1983. For Michael, writing and acting took over much of his life. From The Missionary, which he wrote and co-produced, to Alan Bennett's A Private Function and A Fish Called Wanda, for which he won a BAFTA, Hallway to Hollywood follows Palin's trail through seven movies and ends with his final preparations for the documentary that was to change his life-Around the World in 80 Days.
