A FUNNY THING HAPPENED ON THE WAY

TO THE FORUM

Zero Mostel, Jack Gilford, Phil Silvers

MGM/UA; Directed by Richard Lester

Not Rated; 97 minutes; 1966

In this film, Zero Mostel portrays a slave named Pseudolus and Phil Silvers is a purveyor par excellence of the most nubile young women. Jack Gilford plays Hysterium, major-domo for Hero. Buster Keaton is Erronius and Richard Lester is the helm. What’s the result? A musical/comedy of epic proportions whose backdrop is the ancient Roman Empire.
