Twelve Chairs

Film Description

A stylish, frantic fable and one of director Mel Brooks's earliest films, this is a madcap mystery set in revolutionary Russia. An ageing ex-nobleman of the czarist regime has finally adjusted to life under the commissars in Russia, but when he and the local priest find out that a fortune is hidden in a chair's upholstery, they each return to Moscow to find the hidden fortune. An overlooked comedy gem that marries neurotic humor and cultural dilemmas in the same vein as Woody Allen films in later years.
