History Of The World Part 1

M dls

Starring
Mel Brooks, Cloris Leachman, Madeline Kahn

Director
Mel Brooks

Year
1981

Genre
Comedy

Synopsis
Mel Brooks directs and stars in this side-splitting saga tracing man's evolution from the dawn of history through the Roman Empire to the French Revolution complete with swimming nuns, stand-up philosophers and singing revolutionaries.

From the dawn of man to the distant future, mankind's evolution (or lack thereof) is traced. Often ridiculous but never serious, we learn the truth behind the Roman Emperor, we learn what REALLY happened at the last supper, the circumstances that surrounded the French Revolution, how to test eunuchs and what kind of shoes the Spanish Inquisitor wore.

Support cast includes Cloris Leachman, Orson Welles, Madeline Kahn and John Hurt.
