The Thirteen Chairs

Based On the book by Ilya Ilf

The Thirteen Chairs (French: 12 + 1; Italian: Una su 13) is a 1969 comedy film directed by Nicolas Gessner and Luciano Lucignani and starring Sharon Tate, Vittorio Gassman and Orson Welles, and featuring Vittorio De Sica, Terry-Thomas, Mylène Demongeot, Grégoire Aslan, Tim Brooke-Taylor and Lionel Jeffries. The film is based on the 1928 satirical novel The Twelve Chairs by Soviet authors Ilf and Petrov, which has been adapted many times (including a 1970 version directed by Mel Brooks). The plot follows increasingly desperate attempts to obtain valuable gems which were hidden in a set of chairs. It was Tate's last film before she and four others were murdered at her home by followers of Charles Manson.
