Silent Movie - Quiet Village

Silent Movie

Advantages: No need for subtitles ;-)
Disadvantages: Probably stretched the joke out for too long

Now how to describe Silent Movie....well it's exactly what it says in the title: A silent movie (surprised?). In fact, it's a silent movie about the making of a silent movie! What a twist ! I'm sure Mel Brooks took a risk making this in the mid 70s...although I doubt it is classed as a geniune silent movie as there is one word of dialogue (and plenty of over the top sound effects!). Brooks stars as Mel Funn a has-been producer who's trying to get a studio to be interested in making the first silent film in 40 years. He finds a near bankrupt studio,who are willing to take the risk. The movie continues as Mel and his 2 friends played by Dom DeLuise (how many Brooks movies is this guy in!) and Marty Feldman chase around Hollywood looking for stars for the movie. Cue a series of bizarre encounters with the likes of Burt Reynolds ...
