Silent Movie (1976) (original) (raw)

Silent Movie is director Mel Brooks's comic tribute to the golden days of the silent screen. In a movie within a movie, Mel Funn is a filmmaker who has seen better days--for one thing, he's just come out of a bout with the bottle. When his best friends rescue him from despair and convince him to make another attempt at moviemaking, Mel comes up with an idea--a silent picture. Alas, this is the 1970s, and in order to get backing from a wacky, frazzled studio chief, the three pals have to get lots of celebrities to agree to be in their silent picture.
