History of the World: Part I [Import]

Take a hilarious trip through time with this madcap lesson in history, courtesy of writer/director Mel Brooks. Stops include the Stone Age (depicting the inventions of fire and comedy), Ancient Rome (featuring Brooks as a "stand-up philosopher"), the Spanish Inquisition (now an upbeat musical number), and the French Revolution (where a lowly commoner is chosen to impersonate the king). The all-star cast includes Madeline Kahn, Harvey Korman, Dom DeLuise, Gregory Hines, Sid Caesar; Orson Welles narrates. 92 min. Widescreen; Soundtrack: English. Region Free
