Hilarious Mel Brooks comedy filled with funny satire , amusing events , nice settings and lots of laughters . The cast is pretty good with nice actors as Ron Moody , Frank Langella, Dom DeLuise, Andréas Voutsinas , among others . This enjoyable film obeys no rules except those governing the lost art of pure comedy and with a cast of superlative clowns , led by Ron Moody , the memorable Fagin of Oliver . Set in 1920s Soviet Russia, a fallen aristocrat (Ron Moody) , a priest (Dom DeLuise) and a con artist (Frank Langella) search for a treasure of jewels hidden inside one of twelve dining chairs, lost during the revolution .Both Moody and the local priest find that the family jewels were hidden in a chair, one of a set of twelve. They return separately to Moscow to find the hidden fortune . The man who made 'Blazing Saddles' and 'Young Frankenstein' brings you his funniest comedy ever... ! A complete joy ! Mel Brooks is a major delight in a totally hilarious character ! . A comedy to warm the heart and leave the ribs aching ! .
Riotous spoof by Mel Brooks with raunchy and amusing gags . This wacky parody is packed with lots of silly laughter and great entertainment and fun . Most of the laughs and sight gags galore work acceptably and the jokes come machine-gun rapidly , dealing with the treasure hunt and an aging ex-nobleman of the Czarist regime who has finally adjusted to life under the commisars in Russia . This likable silly farce with numberless comedy set pieces , being an entertaining and very amusing tale with the Farceur Mel Brooks-his second hit film- as director and secondary acting . This bemusing movie is packed with tongue-in-check , slapdash and slapstick , a steady stream of gags, lively situations abound, sheer belly laughs, crazy humor and too much fun . It contains simple and diverting humor and lots of entertainment and fun , providing a sprinkling of self-parodic stars . The spoof is surrealist , extreme and gross-out with the ordinary bunch of loonies and loopies , but is also bold and intelligent with a myriad of imaginative sketches with no sense, some of them unabashedly tasteless . Gambolling about Russia Revolution , it is the theme of Brooks' second feature with comic Moody and personable Langella chasing the one chair out of a set which is stuffed with pre-Russian revolutionary booty . They run into Dom DeLuise, playing a Zero Mostel-in-The Producers role and Brooks himself as a looney lackey . The picture contains an unstopped string of gags each thirty seconds and silly jokes from the start to the ending with some lively touches . It is very fairytale , delightful to watch , and certainly not as self-indulgent as the major Brooks works it slips in between (The Producers , Blazing Saddles) . The comedy and humor are interminable , that's why the viewers will laugh uncontrollably with the habitual quirky and lunatic characters . What's more pleasant about it is the direction , both of the performers and of the action within scenes :the magnificent timing can now be seen as preparation for the sort of classical control that made a lot of Young Frankenstein so good . The screenplay and novel is credited to five writers : Ilya Ilf , Yevgeni Petrov, Elizabeth Hill, Doris Mudie and ,of course, Mel Brooks and it shows in the confused melange of styles . Lively musical score by John Morris with catching songs .
Evocative cinematography by cameraman Dorde Nikolic, shot on location and it is set in Moscow but filmed in Subotica, Yugoslavia, the scenes in Yalta on the Black Sea were filmed in Croatia , which has an Adriatic coastline. Along with a lively musical score by John Morris , Mel's regular , adding catching songs. The motion picture was well directed by Mel Brooks (Blazing saddles , High anxiety , Twelve chairs , The producers , Spaceballs , History of the world). This raucous spoof is a Ron Moody-Dom DeLuise vehicle , if you like his crazy, maniac performances , you'll enjoy this one . The film will appeal to absurd , unruly , wacky comedy fans .
