Fantastic

Elgroovio

This film is Mel Brooks at his best. The thing in my opinion that makes this film so great is the fact that it is completely original. In those days people were in love with big colorful modern films, so it must have come as a pretty big shock to discover that suddenly somebody had made an old-fashioned silent film. There are so many things about this film that will make you just crack your teeth laughing, but most of the funniest of them are thanks to the comic genius of the actor Marty Feldman. Also in this film are some fantastic cameos by all sorts of stars. This is certainly one of Mel Brooks' best films, and should be put next to his many other great films like "The Producers" and "Spaceballs". Enjoy! 10/10
