From the 1930's to the 1970's, pretty well every comedian or comic you might see on TV or the movies was Jewish. Jews came to dominate the world of western‐society comedy on radio, stage and screen alike.Why did Jews dominate comedy in this period? And why did that domination end? Were Jews just funnier back then? And if so, did that extend to your average Jew on the street? In this 90 minute documentary acclaimed director Alan Zweig will examine these questions and many others in this exploration of 20th century humour, cultural decay, and a search for a missing heritage.

Mr. Buyrite
Любовь внезапна, неожиданна, неизбежна… Она вспыхивает, как пламя, но эту искорку нужно уметь сохранить. Особенно, когда твоя любимая так выделяется из окружающих. У нее чуткая, ранимая душа, небесной красоты глаза, густые светлые волосы, она — идеал, за одним маленьким исключением: она — русалка.Влюбленным предстоит много приключений, много трудностей и преград, и только настоящее чувство позволит им, несмотря на прихоти судьбы, остаться вместе. Ведь ласковое лазурное море скроет их от врагов.
Marcus Vindictus
Сумасбродная комедия в стиле Монти Питона, которая стремительно переносит из каменного века во времена Римской империи, а затем и Французской революции, с шутками и приколами - от остроумных до вульгарных. Брукс находит смешное даже в пытках и истязаниях инквизиции - сам играет Торквемаду. Не «покупайтесь» только на финальную рекламу якобы второй части «Всемирной истории» - это такая же шутка, как и все остальное в картине. Уже не один отечественный видеоман сошел с ума, пытаясь отыскать несуществующее продолжение.
