Paying homage to the silent movie era, Mel plays a down and out director with a drinking problem trying to get back on track with a new picture that stars the biggest names of the 1970s who make cameos in the film.
The film holds up to this day and I think it's because it's a silent movie (or rather a movie with the only word spoken is ironically spoken the world's most famous mime). It's all about implementing the slap stick comedy perfectly, and the movie does that.
The jokes were very simple and easy for everyone to understand as a silent movie should be.
Mel Brooks, Dom Deleuse and Marty Feldman made a great comedy trio. Added to the excitement was watching celebs like Burt Reynolds make fun of himself.
Worth taking a look at.
