Mel Brooks uproarious version of history proves that nothing is sacred as he takes us on a delirious romp featuring everything from a wild send-up of the film 2001 to the real stories behind the Roman Empire (Brooks portrays a stand-up philosopher at Caesars Palace), the French Revolution (Brooks reigns as King Louis XVI) and the Spanish Inquisition (a splash song-and-dance number with number and monks and swimming nuns.) Its Mel and company at their hilarious best.
