    Studio's said a silent film couldn't be done in the 70s--Brooks proves them dead wrong! I wonder if a silent could be successful today?

    Micro review: Mel Brooks 'Silent movie' takes too much from 'Pink Panther' and the 3 Stooges, and not nearly enough from Chaplin and Keaton.

    There is a fun vibe with some playful scenes, but like most of Mel Brooks' films the comedy is forced and more than a little cheesy. I won...( read more)der if it might have benefited from being shot in Black and White.

    Not one I would recommend to everyone, becuase it is a silent movie.

    This one of the Mel Brooks movies that I HAVEN'T seen.

    ..Must fix this.

    A very funny movie that is funnier because no words are spoken and the big stars help.

    I liked the part where someone obviously mouthed "you son of a bitch!" and the caption was "you bad boy!"
