Silent Movie (1976)

A real silent film made in 1976, with title cards and slapstick instead of dialogue, and the only spoken word in it is a resounding "Non!" from the mime Marcel Marceau. Brooks plays Mel Funn, a director trying to save a studio from takeover by the conglomerate Engulf & Devour by landing big stars for a silent picture. The target is Hollywood itself, and the fun is in the cameos: Burt Reynolds, James Caan, Liza Minnelli, Anne Bancroft and Paul Newman all play themselves, with Marty Feldman and Dom DeLuise as Funn's sidekicks. It is gentle, sight-gag comedy, so it suits viewers who love Buster Keaton more than those who came for Blazing Saddles.
