April Fool’s Treat: History of the World

 

HISTORY OF THE WORLD: PART I (1981)
Director: Mel Brooks (Robin Hood: Men in Tights, The Producers)

Note: Not for the easily offended!
A rollicking good slapstick comedy that runs through mankind’s greatest moments like a fire-engine. Have a little laugh today as we put up our favourite Mel Brook’s comedy on our not-great-but-can-do screen. And what better time to do this than April Fool’s when we remember not to take everything too seriously!

Sypnosis from imdb.com:
From the dawn of man to the distant future, mankind’s evolution (or lack thereof) is traced. Often ridiculous but never serious, we learn the truth behind the Roman Emperor, we learn what REALLY happened at the Last Supper, the circumstances that surrounded the French Revolution, how to test eunuchs, and what kind of shoes the Spanish Inquisitor wore.

 Get an idea of what it’s like!
