Two sets of mismatched twins--one pair ruling class and the other peasant--unexpectedly cross paths during the height of the French Revolution. A charming farce in the tradition of the great costume films of the 30's and 40's.

Gene Wilder and Donald Sutherland join comedic forces in this satirical farce set during the French Revolution.
A pair of commoner brothers are confused for a royal set of twins, whom they perfectly resemble. The first, raggedy duo finds itself ordered to aid King Louis XVI in his attempts to curb the shenanigans of Marie Antoinette and Duke d'Escargot.
This mistaken-identity crisis is but one link in a long chain of whimsical adventures and derring-do.

Theatrical Release: February 4, 1970
