Product Description

This classic story, also adapted into a film by Mel Brooks, is part of The Cuban Masterworks Collection. Beautifully restored, the five films in the Collection reveal a unique perspective of Cuba – one Americans are unaccustomed to seeing. Directed by legendary filmmakers, each is a worthy addition to the canon of great world cinema.The Twelve Chairs takes place in the aftermath of Cuba’s revolution, when property belonging to the rich is nationalized. On her deathbed, a wealthy woman reveals to her son-in-law, Hipólito, the hiding place of a fortune in jewels: inside one of twelve identical parlor chairs, taken by revolutionary authorities from her villa. Hipólito begins a comical hunt to find the treasure...but he's not the only one!
