The Twelve Chairs is a 1970 American comedy film directed and written by Mel Brooks, and starring Frank Langella, Ron Moody and Dom DeLuise.

The film is one of at least eighteen film adaptations of the Soviet 1928 novel The Twelve Chairs by Ilf and Petrov.

On her deathbed, the mother-in-law of deposed Russian nobleman Ippolit Vorobyaninov reveals to him that she hid her jewels in one of the family’s dining room chairs before the Russian Revolution. Unfortunately, during confession, she also reveals this to the village priest, Father Fyodor Ippolit begins a mad search for the twelve chairs and is soon joined by lovable rogue Ostap Bender. Renouncing his vows and shaving his beard, Father Fyodor joins the chase, hoping to find the treasure-stuffed chair and become rich. The quest takes our principals from the cold remoteness of Siberia to the grand splendour of Yalta. Who will find the lucky chair first?

“Hope for the best, expect the worst Some drink champagne, some die of thirst No way of knowing
which way it's going Hope for the best, expect the worst!”
