S R Some corny schtick, but it still had some good moments. It was way too long and could have been edited down. Good cast. I either saw this because my sister recommended or because I wanted to see the original after seeing Mel Brook's version. Saw on youtube. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 08/17/24 Full Review Audience Member Good film. Mirrors the story that stays very true to Ilf and Petrov's novel "The Twelve Chairs". The only real difference is that it is set in Cuba and Ostap played by Reynaldo Miravalles sees the error of his ways instead of dying in the book. It is interesting on how it compares to the Mel Brook's film by the same title. Recommended watching expectantly as a double feature with the Brook's film. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/27/23 Full Review Audience Member An expropriated bourgeois, his ex-servant, and a priest go on a treasure hunt for twelve chairs, one of which contains jewels hidden by the bourgeois' mother during the Cuban Revolution. A very funny, droll and slapstick look at the declassed/lumpen remnants of the old society in the new society. And an inspiring look at revolutionary Cuban society.
