The French Revolution piece fell flat for me.

One of my favorite scenes in the movie is when the old blind man in prision is setting the dead birds free. That still kills me every single time.
Also:
Uggh…Wash this..
It had its moments, but the piece as a whole was flat. Mel put all of his energy into the Roman segment and it showed.

With* the Producers* as an exception, Mel just can’t write a good ending to a film, they just peter out.

I dunno, I liked the endings to Young Frankenstein and Blazing Saddles.
I still think the funniest scene in History is when Gregory Hines is pretending to be a eunuch in the harem.
Roman Guard: “The jig is up!”
Gregory Hines: “And gone!”
