I LOVE this musical comedy. The good-hearted but scheming slave, "Pseudolus" (Zero Mostel), tries to barter his freedom by helping his master "Hero" win the hand of the girl of his dreams from the brothel next door. It starts out simple, but as the story goes on, circumstances and characters seriously complicate the situation in a comedy of errors.

I watched this with my dad once and I loved it! :D I wish you could buy it instead of rent it though, I'd love to have it on my phone.

Grew up watching this with my parents and family. It's a classic one that we all enjoy
