History of the World: Part I (1981)

Poster for History of the World: Part I

Ten million years in the making. The truth, the whole truth, and everything, but the truth!

An uproarious version of history that proves nothing is sacred – not even the Roman Empire, the French Revolution and the Spanish Inquisition.
