Start the Revolution Without Me

Start the Revolution Without Me

Gene Wilder... wilder than ever!

197090 min6.0 / 10

A farcical romp built on mistaken identity and physical comedy, using the French Revolution as colorful backdrop for slapstick chaos and twin-swap hijinks.

Two sets of identical twins are accidentally switched at birth. One pair, Phillipe and Pierre DeSisi, are aristocratic and haughty, while the other, Charles and Claude Coupé, are poor and dim-witted. On the eve of the French Revolution, both sets find themselves entangled in palace intrigue.
