From the manufacturer

History of the World: Part I

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'.

Product Description

Bawdy segments include the dawn of man, Moses, Nero, the Inquisition and the French Revolution.

Unfortunately Shows None of Mel Brooks' Genius
Mel Brooks takes you from 20,000,000 years ago, when "the ape stood and became man", through the 1789 French Revolution, where the Count de Money (dee mow NEIGH) meets Madame de Farge.In between, there's the Roman Empire with the Empress Nympho, the Spanish Inquisition and the Black Plague of 1489. You even find out how Leonardo da Vinci painted "The Last Supper."It's all told with tired humor and mostly ineffective sight gags, though Gregory Hines as a Roman slave who tap dances through his slave auction is a highlight.For me, "History of the World Pt 1" is 2.5 stars rounded up to 3. Mel Brooks has moments of comic genius, but this movie didn't have them.Mel Brooks directed twelve films in all, acting in all but one of them. Eight of his movies, including "History of the World Pt 1," are collected in a slipcase in Mel Brooks Bx Sm Cb.Happy Reader

Dejen a Mel Brooks que narre la historia a su manera y es garantizadas unas carcajadas- solo tener en cuenta el sentido del humor. Quiza si NO tienes sentido del humor, esta peli, ni las de Mel Brooks son para ti, as de simple.

4.0 out of 5 stars stoopid but great fun
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on September 23, 2007

This is not sophisticated comedy, but it takes real talent to make proper use of such terrible jokes - it's the way he tells 'em and give or take a very few gags so groanworthy that they do fall flat, it will keep you in stitches for 90 minutes, with highlights including the French Revolution and the great all-singing and dancing Spanish inquisition sequence. While many of Mel Brooks's regular collaborators are present, this film is a particular delight for British audiences due to having been filmed in the UK and featuring a wide range of British talent including Pamela Stephenson, Spike Milligan (as her father), John Hurt (as Jesus in a hilarious Last Supper gag) and many others. Definitely one of Mel Brooks's best.
