Trivia
When Sharon Tate arrived in Rome for filming near the end of March 1969, she was about three months pregnant and beginning to show. Because the script called for several semi-nude scenes, the director arranged to film those scenes first. As filming (and her pregnancy) progressed, the director obscured Tate's stomach with large purses and scarves. This is most apparent in the scene following her ride in the furniture mover's van.

Alternate versions
Both versions of the story (this one and The Twelve Chairs (1970)) have completely different opening and ending title sequences, in terms of fonts and placements. For example, in the opening in the former, the "12 + 1" logo appears one by one in the shot of Mario crossing the street, while in the other version, the logo appears 16 seconds into the film. The ending on the "12 + 1" version has the words "THE END" placed right before the end credits, and right after the freeze-frame, as opposed to the other version, that has "THE END" appear right after the end credits. In addition, both beginning and ending titles for the "12 + 1" version have names and companies that were not credited on the other version, and vice-versa. Both versions even feature different shots of the hair salon in the opening.

12+1=13 chairs!

December 2021

So this goes by several titles i know of, 12+1 being the one i call it, there is also twelve plus one and thirteen chairs.

It is in fact a European version of 12 chairs starring Sharon Tate, and features many popular British actors of the time including Terry Thomas and Lionel Jeffries.

I personally have seen 3 different film versions of this story, but not sure if there are anymore. There is this one from 1969, an American version starring Mel Brooks from 1970 and a subtitled version which was a lot newer.

Its been so long since i saw the one with Mel Brooks that i cannot remember for sure how good it was, but i remember liking it, and i do this.

They are in fact comedy treasure hunt films, so if you like things such as Rat Race and Its a mad mad world then this should be your cup of tea.

7.5 chairs out of 10.
