Some Good Gags, But Not Enough to Carry the Movie

Some Good Gags, But Not Enough to Carry the Movie
It's Hollywood, and the trio of Mel Funn, Marty Eggs and Dom Bell (get it?!) are tootling down the boulevard in Mel's canary yellow roadster. It's the Roaring 20's, and the decadence is passing them by. As a caption tells us (this IS a silent movie), "Mel Funn, once Hollywood's greatest director, until drinking destroyed his career, is trying to make a comeback."They go to Big Picture Studio, "If it's a big one, it was made here", to pitch one last film. But Big Picture is in financial straits itself, and is trying to stave off a takeover by the stinky conglomerate appropriately named "Engulf and Devour".How the boys make a film and save the day is the story of "Silent Movie". There are sound effects, but no dialogue or voice-overs. There are many gags, including sight gags, such as when the Big Picture Studio's office door has this name plate: "Current Studio Chief".It has guest stars, like a TV show, cameos where well-known actors play themselves: Burt Reynolds, James Caan, Liza Minnelli, Anne Bancroft, Paul Newman, Sid Caesar and my favorite, Marcel Marceau.This silent movie schtick is fun for a while, but it doesn't hold up for a whole movie. I think I would have appreciated this more if it had been shorter. Otherwise, this 1976 movie feels just like a 70's TV show.Mel Brooks directed twelve films in all, acting in all but one of them. Eight of his movies, including "Silent Movie" are collected in a slipcase in Mel Brooks Bx Sm Cb.Happy Reader
