Pseudolus (Zero Mostel) is the laziest slave in Rome, and has one wish, to purchase his freedom. When his master and mistress leave for the day, he finds out that the young master has fallen in love with a virgin in the house of Marcus Lycus (Phil Silvers), a slave dealer specializing in beautiful women. Pseudolus concocts a deal in which he will be freed if he can procure the girl for young Hero (Michael Crawford). Of course, it can't be that simple as everything begins to go wrong. ??John Vogel Awards: 2 nominations totalBudget: $2,000,000 (estimated)Soundtrack: Comedy Tonight (Written by Stephen Sondheim)Richard LesterZero Mostel, Phil Silvers, Buster Keaton1966-10-16 (United States, United Kingdom)tt0060438
