Watch A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum
The film follows the laziest slave - Pseudolus who is eager to free. One day, when his mistress leaves for the day, he uncovers that his young master falls for a virgin girl living in the house of Lycus. He organizes a conspiracy to attain his goal.
A funny thing happened on the way to Hollywood: A good musical-comedy lost much of its fizz.

Perhaps the first modern film musical -- breaking with and even making sport of the theatrical artifice that had been bogging down the genre for nearly a decade.
Hilarious, stagey version of hit Broadway musical comedy.

A great mixture of slapstick, farce and music. Zero Mostel is a treat as is the underappreciated Jack Gilford.

A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum is a classic in its own right. The songs are fun and the story is unpredictable (even if it does occasionally meander for too long).
