Sinema tarihinin en önemli filmlerinden birisi. Filmin tarihi bağlamda ifade edilmesi bir yana, özellikle seyirciye seslenen murder plot, aşk hikayesi vs. yönlerinin olması bunun nedenleri arasında sayılabilir. Carne & Prevert işbirliğini de bu başarıda gözardı etmemeliyiz. 1940′ların ortalarına doğru Fransız Sinemasının konumlandırılmasına bakıldığında bunda Marcel Carne ve onun ekibininin önemi gözler önüne serilir. Öyküde 1827-1828 yılları Fransa’sına panaromik bir bakış gözler önüne serilmektedir. Bu sahne özellikle akılda tutulmalıdır, filmin son sahnelerinde bu tip bir panaromik bakışa adeta simetri oluştururcasına geri dönülecektir. Açılış sahnesinin etrafında bulunan binalar seyircide derinlik hissi oluşturacak şekilde dizilmiştir ki bu izleyicide bir göz yanılması uyandırır. Ayrıca bu küçük setlerde, göz yanılması ve algı oyunlarıyla seyirciyi büyülemek amacıyla cüceler kullanılmıştır.
Bir zamanlar Hollywood'un ünlü ve aranılan bir yönetmeni olan Mel Funn (Mel Brooks) alkol sorunu yüzünden uzunca bir süredir mesleğinden uzak kalmıştır. Artık içkiyi bırakmış olan bu eski komedi filmleri yönetmeni, iki sadık yardımcısı, Marty Eggs (Marty Feldman) ve Dom Bell (Dom DeLuise)'le birlikte eski güzel günlere muhteşem bir dönüş plânlamaktadır: Sessiz bir film yapacaktır. Zarar etmekte olan bir film yapımcısına (Sid Caesar) bu teklifini götürür (tabii bütün bunlar ara yazıyla verilir, çünkü izlemekte olduğumuz konusu 1970'li yıllarda geçen bu renkli film sessiz ilerlemektedir, ancak yine de yer yer bazı ses efektleri ve müzik işitilir). Yapımcı önce saçma bulduğu bu öneriye güler geçer, çünkü yıl 1976'dır ve sessiz filmlerin devri çoktan kapanmıştır. Ancak çaresizdir, çünkü "Engulf ve Devour" adlı bir film şirketini satın almak üzeredir.Yapımcı filmde ünlü Hollywood oyuncularının da yer almaları koşuluyla projeye yeşil ışık yakar
