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. |
