| It's good to be the king.  You can find out why as you watch this 
		  movie.  That particular line is spoken throughout the movie by Mel 
		  brooks himself as he plays the part of the king during the French 
		  Revolution. Mel demonstrates how good life as the king could be when 
		  you have absolutely no self control but, at the same time, have the 
		  power to get away with it.  There are a number of historical time 
		  periods that are poked fun at in this film: The Stone Age, the Roman 
		  Empire, the French Revolution and the Spanish Inquisition.  The movie 
		  also enlists the talents of:  Sid Caesar, Gregory Hines, Madeline 
		  Kahn, Harvey Korman and more.  Funny stuff. |
