On this day in 1970, UMC released THE TWELVE CHAIRS. Directed by MEL BROOKS, this wildly funny story of a treasure hunt through Czarist Russia was considered a flop when it was first released but, over the years, has become a favorite of cultists and BROOKS’ fans. The brilliantly funny cast includes RON MOODY, FRANK LANGELLA and DOM DeLUISE. You owe it to yourself to see this film.
