HISTORY OF THE WORLD: PART I (1981) - ♦♦♦

Directed by - Mel Brooks

Written by - Mel Brooks

Starring - Mel Brooks, Gregory Hines, Dom DeLouise

 

"Mel Brooks’ take on the history of the world from the dawning of man to the French Revolution feels very much a work of his own comedic genius. But while some scenes are truly inspired, like the awkwardly insane musical number set in the Spanish Inquisition, the project may be a little too ambitious and predictably disappointing, especially when compared to the Monty Python pictures of the same kind."
