A comedic spoof at its finest!
3 November 2023
I've been watching this movie for a long time, since the days of my childhood, and for plenty of good reasons. There's a lot of fun to be had here, from the unbeatable cast, all showing off great comedic varieties and talents, to the homeage of old cinema styles, and plenty of clever writing to create unforgettable scenes. Gene Wilder steals practically every scene he's in though let's not forget about the others involved, Peter Boyle captures all the struggles and at times awkwardness in his scenes and yet expresses himself in ways other than speech to deliver the comedy, and Marty Feldman is just too funny with his self-effacing liners too good to reveal here. Cloris Leachman is memorable and original making horses whinny at the mere mention of her name, and Terri Garr just makes any scene she's in memorable with all her quirkiness. Love the fact its in black and white adding to the old style homeage of an age of cinema gone by. I could watch this movie forever and it never gets old. Find this movie and laugh your head off, it's that good!
