Synopsis Inspired spoofery! A dazzling andisustained farce. Wilder andiSutherland perform magically.-Los Angeles Times Produced and directed by comedy veteran Bud Yorkin, Start the Revolution Without Me broke ground for a comedy revolution. It takes the tumultuous "let them eat cake" days of the French Revolution and gives everyone a figurative pie in the face. Two sets of twins are mismatched at birth so that years later, each set will have one Gene Wilder and one Donald Sutherland. One set grows up to be aristocratic swashbucklers, the other set are peasants. In a hilarious fluke of fate, they crisscross across classes. In the years following Start the Revolution Without Me, Woody Allen, Mel Brooks and the Abrahams/Zucker/Zucker team would all create madcap comedy masterpieces. A lineup like that must have had a tremendous Start.

Customer Review Unjustly neglected comedy - 3.5 out of 5  (7/15/2003) It's the best Gene Wilder comedy that didnˇ¦t become a hit. According to the audio commentary, most of the gags were not in the script but the re-creation of Wilder. Gene overacts hilariously and steals the whole film. Sutherland doesn't have much to do by comparison. Fine supporting actors Hugh Griffith and Jack MacGowran are from the cast of the more successful period comedy TOM JONES (1963), as well as composer John Addison.
