Another zany comedy from Mel Brooks (who also makes an acting appearance), made between The Producers and Blazing Saddles. Based on the same Russian story from which Jack Benny and Fred Allen derived their famous Forties' hit It's in the Bag! , about a fortune hidden away in a presumably worthless old armchair. Some typical Brooks bursts of lunacy liven up a basically rather soggy story.
