Black-and-white 8" x 10" film still of character Mel Funn from the film "Silent Movie" signed in black felt tip marker by director and actor Mel Brooks. In fine condition. Accompanied by a JSA COA (#AM49181).Silent Movie is a 1976 satirical comedy film directed by, written by, and starring Mel Brooks. In the film, Brooks plays Mel Funn, a washed-up alcoholic film director who has an idea for a comeback picture: a silent movie. The struggling Big Picture Studios agrees to back the film on one condition: Funn and his cohorts, Marty Eggs (Marty Feldman) and Dom Bell (Dom DeLuise), must convince several top movie stars to appear in it. The comedy chronicles their slapstick adventures as they try to sign superstars like Burt Reynolds, James Caan, Liza Minnelli, and Paul Newman for the project.
