Alas, those days were behind him, as I sadly learned with each of his new movies (until I stopped watching new Mel Brooks films).<br /><br />James Robert Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17281049641681225389noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1003345269984484749.post-31653703446963936992012-06-03T09:14:54.829-04:002012-06-03T09:14:54.829-04:00@Robert: I'm a big Mel Brooks fan, and have be...@Robert: I'm a big Mel Brooks fan, and have been for many years. I love all his movies (well, the ones prior to LIFE STINKS, anyway), but I bet I've seen HIGH ANXIETY more than any other (except maybe BLAZING SADDLES). I suppose it's because I'm also a Hitchcock fan from way back, and this one fits quite neatly into both camps!<br /><br />As always, thanks for the comment!DVD Infatuationhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02986606131886453883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1003345269984484749.post-25505615330519509312012-06-01T09:36:16.877-04:002012-06-01T09:36:16.877-04:00I love this movie!

The thing I like about High Anxiety is that it's an actual story, not just an excuse for a bunch of skits like so many of Brook's films.<br /><a href="http://www.retrohound.com/" rel="nofollow">RetroHound.com</a>Robert M.
