Great comedic acting and writing. Brooks is a genius and “Springtime for Hitler” alone makes it a must see! Mostel and Wilder were perfect!
Silly stage production comedy with great performances, Mel Brooks’ best film, consistently hilarious
Gene Wilder always shines in Mel Brooks films. Kenneth Mars is always a hoot as well. I imagine Broderick and Lane to have better chemistry
Classic hilarity and solid broad performances. An inspired premise that bridges the gap between eras of comedy.
Side-splittingly funny. Brooks is in top form for one of the most organically hilarious comedies you'll ever watch.
My favorite Mel Brooks movie. It strikes the right balance between satire and story, with phenomenal performances by Wilder and Mostel.
I know what I'm doing next time I'm at work
Funnier than the remake. Gene Wilder is fantastic.
Best Mel Brooks movie IMO. Clever, funny, outrageous. Story about making the worst Broadway show ever. Brooks is willing to take chances.
Springtime for Hitler is one of the best scenes in any comedy (also Gene Wilder :D)
