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

Start the Revolution without Me ★★★ 1970 (PG) Hilarious, Moliere-esque 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. Gene Wilder, Donald Sutherland, Orson Welles, Hugh Griffith, Jack MacGowran, Billie Whitelaw, Victor Spinetti, Ewa Aulin, Denise Coffey, Helen Fraser, Murray Melvin; Director: Bud Yorkin; Writer: Lawrence J. Cohen, Fred Freeman; Writer: Jean Tournier; Cameo: John Addison.
