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 secure big celebrities to act in it. Excited, Funn embarks on an adventure across the country 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)
