Serious Comedy
A “serious comedy” from Mel Brooks. “The Twelve Chairs” borders on farce but is relatively restrained. This restraint is all the more remarkable in light of Dom DeLuise’s manic attempts to take over. Ron Moody (who is best remember as Fagin in ‘Oliver’ on film and on the West End and Broadway)is superb. Frank Langella is less impressive, but he does bring the necessary character to the role. If you expect and want “Blazing Saddles” this movie is not for you. Nor is it as perfect a picture as “Young Frankenstein”. But this Brooksian take on a Russian comedy of errors is well worth your attention. The belly laughs are few and far between, but the tugs on the heartstrings (along with some slapstick) suffice. If I am spare on the details, it is only because I have not seen this motion picture since its theatrical release in 1970; it’s definitely one to which I have to renew my acquaintance.
