1968



This Review Was Submitted by Shaol Levy
This is probably Mel Brooks' best movie, which is surprising, considering it was his first directorial effort. It is definitely one of the funniest movies of all time, and explores themes which have run throughout all of Mel's work, such as man's need for companionship, bigotry, and isolation in an extremely funny way. People expecting to see a straight-out satire in the vein of Blazing Saddles and Young Frankenstein,however, beware: this is a comedy, yes, but, while it does poke fun at Broadway musicals ("Springtime for Hitler" is the most hilarious musical number I have ever seen) it does have a story. Mel won an Oscar for Best Screenplay for this one. I give it a 4 out of 4.
