Il mistero delle dodici sedie (The Twelve Chairs) – Mel Brooks

un Mel Brooks minore, ma solo perché ha prodotto dei capolavori.
attori molto bravi, ricordo un Frank Langella (il Nixon di "Frost vs Nixon") giovanissimo e un Dom DeLuise strepitoso.
alla storia si è ispirato (qui) Carlo Mazzacurati nel suo ultimo film, dove Battiston e Dom DeLuise si danno la mano, per la bravura.
per me queste dodici sedie di Mel Broks sono da non perdere, prova per i film eccezionali che seguiranno - Ismaele






The Twelve Chairs is primarily recommended for fans of Mel Brooks, and for insatiably curious movie-watchers looking for hidden gems they may have overlooked.  Although I can't quite give it a personal recommendation, the performances are enough to keep most of the film afloat, and and far as Mel Brooks films go, it's probably the most palatable to watch with the whole family.   Over the years, Brooks has shown that he's not exactly the master of subtle comedy, but the attempt is interesting to see.  I suspect that after his experience making this one, he too realized that bawdy, broad farce was the way for him to go in the future.
