A FUNNY THING HAPPENED ON THE WAY TO THE FORUM (1966)

Pseudolus isn't exactly a very good "slave"; wishing to purchase his freedom from his master, he devises a plan that involves slave-dealer Lycus, a young virgin, and, of course, his master. Knowing his master to be in cahoots with the young mistress, Pseudolus decides to bargain for his freedom in exchange for procuring the girl for his master. Though the plan sounds simple enough, it is anythiny but cleanly executed in this classic comedy...

Director Richard Lester's "A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum" is a delightful, hysterical, historical comedy.

The flawless cast includes: Zero Mostel, Phil Silvers, Buster Keaton, Jack Gilford, Michael Crawford, Annette Andre, Michael Hordern, and Inga Neilsen.
