Silent Movie (1976)
Country: US
Technical: col 87m
Director: Mel Brooks
Cast: Mel Brooks, Marty Feldman, Dom De Luise
Synopsis:
Three film-makers pitch an idea for a silent movie, the first in decades, to a struggling film studio, while its creditors do their best to sabotage the production.
Review:
This rather flimsy premise for a silent picture in the mid Seventies finds its mirror image in the action of the movie. You might say it's a self-reflexive joke, which is just as well because there aren't many others.
