Short description

Aspiring filmmakers Mel Funn, Marty Eggs and Dom Bell go to a financially troubled studio with an idea for a silent movie. In an effort to make the movie more marketable, they attempt to recruit a number of big name stars to appear, while the studio's creditors attempt to thwart them.

What's left behind the scenes

The film features only one spoken word: “No!” delivered by the famous mime Marcel Marceau.
Originally, 'Silent Movie' was intended to be completely silent, but the studio wouldn't allow it, and Brooks was forced to use a soundtrack.
The film entered the Guinness Book of World Records as the sound film with the fewest lines of dialogue.
