In this dialogue-free slapstick comedy, film director Mel Funn travels to the ailing Big Picture Studios to pitch his comeback film: the first feature-length silent movie in decades. Desperate for a hit, the studio chief gives Funn and his cronies the go-ahead -- but only if they can get big celebrities to act in it. Excited, Funn begins an adventure across the country in his effort to secure superstars for his film.
« A guaranteed sidesplitting, lunatic look at movie studios and the behind-the-scenes personnel that help keep the reels rolling. » (Philadelphia Gay News).
« Mel Brooks will do anything for a laugh. Anything. He has no shame. He's an anarchist; his movies inhabit a universe in which everything is possible and the outrageous is probable. » (Roger Ebert)
