Start the Revolution without Me ★★★ 1970 (PG)

Hilarious, Moliereesque farce about two sets of identical twins (Wilder and Sutherland) separated at birth, who meet 30 years later, just before the French Revolution. About as hammy as they come; Wilder is unforgettable. Neglected when released, but now deservedly a cult favorite. 91m/C VHS, DVD . Gene Wilder, Donald Sutherland, Orson Welles, Hugh Griffith, Jack MacGowran, Billie Whitelaw, Victor Spinetti, Ewa Aulin, Denise Coffey, Helen Fraser, Murray Melvin; D: Bud Yorkin; W: Lawrence J. Cohen, Fred Freeman; C: Jean Tournier; M: John Addison.
