It comes from the name of a British general, Lord Montgomery, nicknamed by the troops "Monty." He was always decked out over and above the norm, hence the phrase "the full Monty," to mean "with all the trimmings," or "with the maximum expression." Then there came to be the movie, "The Full Monty," which involved a story about workingclass men doing a strip routine for money, as they were out of work. What was meant by "the full Monty" in that case was that they went over the top in undressing rather than over the top in dressing: that is, they showed "the full Monty," not stopping at a certain section when stripping.

The Full Monty is a Broadway musical about male strippers. The full monty is full frontal nudity (no clothes at all).
