History of the world, part I [videorecording] / Twentieth Century Fox ; directed, written and produced by Mel Brooks ; a Brooksfilms production.
... shows a rather different side of Moses, the Stone Age and the Roman Empire - in which Brooks is a stand-up philosopher playing Caesar's Palace. Next, the truth is finally told about the Spanish Inquisition in a splashy production number featuring song-and-dance monks and swimming nuns ... It's history as you've never known it - completely irreverent and positively hilarious. -- Container.
