Start The Revolution Without Me
Description
Produced and directed by comedy veteran Bud Yorkin, Start the Revolution
Without Me broke ground for a comedy revolution. It takes the tumultuous “let
them eat cake” days of the French Revolution and gives everyone a figurative
pie in the face. Two sets of twins are mismatched at birth so that years
later, each set will have one Gene Wilder and one Donald Sutherland. One set
grows up to be aristocratic swashbucklers; the other set are peasants. In a
hilarious fluke of fate, they crisscross across classes. In the years
following Start the Revolution Without Me, Woody Allen, Mel Brooks and the
Abrahams/Zucker/Zucker team would all create madcap comedy masterpieces. A
lineup like that must have had a tremendous Start.
