For a Mel Brooks movie, far from the

For a Mel Brooks movie, far from the best. For a 60-70's comedy, I've definitely seen better. A poor man's Mad Mad Mad Mad World. "Was it interesting?" That was the best part. The story is complex, characters were developed with reasonable motivations. It's just the transition to a movie that didn't really do it justice. 1.5 out of 3 "Was it entertaining?" The comedy was slightly humorous in parts, but mostly predictable or too drawn out. 1 out of 3 "Was it memorable?" The locations were pretty well done, and the acting was better than the dialog. The problem is that pacing was so slow I almost fell asleep 2/3 through and was wanting to fast-forward in the last 5 minutes. 1 out of 3 1.5+1+1=3.5+1(default 1)=4.5 Round up or down for overall feeling and this feels like a 4. This is not a movie I would want to see and felt like my time was somewhat wasted.

"Hope for the best, prepare for the worst"

Probably Mel Brooks' most unfamiliar film as well as his most overtly Jewish is this adaptation shot in Yugoslavia of the frequently filmed Russian satirical novel by Ilf & Petrov, versions of which had previously been made as far afield as Hollywood and Cuba.As with 'The Producers' the lead role went to a prominent Jewish stage actor, on this occasion Ron Moody. The fatalistic tone already set by John Morris' title song, the tone throughout is low-keyed for Brooks with a downbeat ending reminiscent of (SLIGHT SPOILER COMING:) the final scene of Bialystok & Bloom rehearsing 'Prisoners of Love' in 'The Producers'.
