TWELVE CHAIRS, THE (BILINGUAL)

Details

• Release Year: 1970
• Genre: Comedy
• Plot: Although the plot of 'The Twelve Chairs' is wild enough to have been created by Mel Brooks, it's actually based on a Russian story written by two Soviet journalists, Ilya Ilf and Yevgeni Petrov, in the 1920s. Set in Russia in 1927, this much-loved, hilarious Mel Brooks comedy classic is the tale of a former aristocrat (RON MOODY) who is now a Russian clerk under the new Soviet regime. When he learns that his dying mother-in-law sewed a fortune of family jewels into one of the twelve dining room chairs, he sets off across Russia to find it -- with an opportunist (FRANK LANGELLA), a priest (DOM DeLUISE) and his former servant (MEL BROOKS) all in equal pursuit.
