Far and away Brook's best film, even though that's not saying much. Sight gags are Mel's forte, so turning the sound off was the best idea he ever had. Funny most of the way through, it is only occasionally that this dig at the silent pic gets tiresome. Moments of real hilarity serve to temper the dull ones.
Stars are in plentiful supply, including main players Brooks, Feldman, Dom DeLuise, Bernadette Peters and Sid Caesar. Burt Reynolds, James Caan, Liza Minelli, Anne Bancroft, Paul Newman and Marcel Marceau all drop in to help make "Silent Movie" a hit.
