About this product

Product Information

In this spoof of great moments in history from the dawn of humanity through the French Revolution, director Mel Brooks delivers a twisted history lesson through his signature satirical, madcap humor. Funny, vulgar, and narrated by the great Orson Welles, HISTORY OF THE WORLD - PART I tells the progress of humankind as cave dweller, tap-dancing slave, and biblical hero. The most famous bit in the film features Moses coming down from Mount Sinai. Other highlights include a hilarious "Hitler on Ice" sequence and other outrageous comic situations, unbelievably silly jokes, and inspired casting (Sid Caesar, Gregory Hines, and Madeline Kahn included), with the film itself mimicking several historical Hollywood epics, most notably THE GREATEST STORY EVER TOLD and THE TEN COMMANDMENTS, as well as a brilliant parody of 2001: A SPACE ODYSSEY.

  • Mel Brooks best film.

    Funny, irreverant, fast paced, just as funny as "Young Frankenstein", only more explicit. If you like Mel Brooks comedy, you already have a copy - if you don't, then get a copy. The cost is well worth it.

  • Money well spent

    Its as described. New. It's the same movie it always has been. It was a bit pricey for an almost 40 year old movie, but, compared to the others I've looked at, new and used, it was a good buy. And it got here quickly.
