Product Description:
Produced and directed by comedy veteran Bud Yorkin Start the Revolution Without Me broke ground for a comedy revolution. It takes the tumultuous "let-them-eat-cake" days of the French Revolution and gives everyone a figurative pie in the face. Two sets of twins are mismatched at birth so that years later each set will have one Gene Wilder and one Donald Sutherland. One set grows up to be aristocratic swashbucklers the other set are peasants. In a hilarious fluke of fate they crisscross across classes. In the years following Start the Revolution Without Me Woody Allen Mel Brooks and the Abrahams/Zucker/Zucker team would all create madcap comedy masterpieces. A lineup like that must have had a tremendous Start.Running Time: 91 min.Format: DVD MOVIE Genre: COMEDY UPC: 085392752027

Gene Wilder and Donald Sutherland play two sets of identical twins who are mismatched at birth shortly before the French Revolution. One pair is reared as royalty; the other is raised as the children of peasants. The plot in this film by Bud Yorkin is a wonderful mishmash of Dumas, Victor Hugo, and Molière, with the peasant brothers joining the revolutionaries while their bizarrely foppish siblings eat cake and ignore the events around them. Wilder and Sutherland are joined by a who's who of British comedy stars, including Billie Whitelaw, Hugh Griffith, and Victor Spinetti (and a cameo by Orson Welles)--yet this film flopped upon release, only to become a cult item among college students of the period. --Marshall Fine

This is a classic Gene Wilder comedy, which will be enjoyed by people who like simple humor.

Enjoyable movie from 1969 about a mixup with two sets of twins, one from a nobel family and one from a peasant family. That their paths intermix during the revolution only adds humor to the situation, as one group is mistaken for another. Humor.

Gene Wilder is too funny! If you liked Young Frankenstein, you'll like this one!
Rating:  -
Incredible that this film can appeal across broad audiences the way it does. The zaniness was so well-done, that it makes you laugh almost against almost your will. Not unbelievably stupid, just ridiculous enough to push history into subsequent giggle fits. This is a movie you may find yourself quoting.
It's really old, but because it was a period piece, the clothes of the day aren't distracting (or painful to watch). Instead, we are treated to lavish sets, true location footage, and ... Read More

The video arrived quickly and in good condition. It's a bit dated but very enjoyable.
