      S R I saw it for its cast and ratings. It had its witty writing here and there and humorous situations, but it still was a bit tedious despite the visual gags. Saw on TCM. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 05/24/23 Full Review j f The most stirring portrayal of French Revolution this patriot has ever seen Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 04/23/23 Full Review Audience Member Very funny movie, wilder is great, and we even get orson welles at the end. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/24/23 Full Review Audience Member Regardless how much of a fan I may be of Wilder, Sutherland, Spinetti, and 1789 in general, feel free to start the movie without me. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/30/23 Full Review Audience Member The best comedy movie ever made! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/26/23 Full Review Audience Member Perhaps not among the greatest film comedies, but a forgotten gem, nevertheless! A must see. Wilder and Sutherland are wonderful in their dual roles. Great supporting cast. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/11/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating

      Dennis Schwartz Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews The film flopped at the box office, but years later scored as a cult hit on video when Wilder's popularity grew. Rated: B- Oct 5, 2016 Full Review Emanuel Levy EmanuelLevy.Com Rated: 2/5 Jul 3, 2005 Full Review Steve Crum Kansas City Kansan Seems like a Mel Brooks farce, but it's a Yorkin! Pretty zany. Rated: 4/5 Oct 16, 2004 Full Review Carol Cling Las Vegas Review-Journal Rated: 4/5 Apr 16, 2004 Full Review Daniel M. Kimmel Worcester Telegram & Gazette Rated: 3/5 Feb 13, 2004 Full Review Ken Hanke Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC) When at its best, it's easy to understand its cult status.
