George Finances 'Life of Brian'

George's friendship and respect for Eric Idle was so strong that when the Monty Python crew were struggling to finance their new movie, George stepped up to the plate by mortgaging his home to finance the making of the now-famous classic 'Life of Brian'. George makes a cameo appearance in the movie as well as other Monty Python productions. It is then no surprise to see some of the Monty Python crew making an appearance at the Concert for George along with Tom Hanks performing 'I'm a Lumberjack'.
