Film Synopsis
Silent Movie (1976) centers on a down-on-his-luck film director who joins forces with two eccentric companions to convince Hollywood’s biggest celebrities to appear in the first silent feature produced in decades. As their increasingly chaotic recruitment campaign collides with corporate sabotage and a race to save a struggling movie studio, one misadventure after another threatens the project’s success. This satirical comedy celebrates the visual storytelling of silent-era cinema as slapstick, industry satire, and affectionate nostalgia combine in a playful tribute to Hollywood’s earliest filmmaking traditions.
