Trivia : Gene Wilder and Mel Brooks got into only one fight during the movie's production, but it was a big one with Mel throwing a huge temper tantrum, yelling and raging and eventually storming out of the studio. Shortly thereafter, Gene received a phone call from Mel, saying, "Who was that lunatic yelling and screaming on the set today? You ( Read more... )

I love Marty Feldman here, and it's one of my favorite quotable movies! "Hallo. Vould you like a roll in ze hay?"

"Werewolf!"
"There wolf. There castle."

"My, what knockers!"
"Why, thank you, Professor!"

"Yes! I was ... his - girlfriend!"

"A riot is an ugly zing. It's about time ve had vun!"

... I'll stop now. Before I start to re-enact the Puttin' on the Ritz scene.

Igor: Doctor Frankenstein?
Freddy: That's "Frahn-kun-steen."
Igor: Are you putting me on?
Freddy: No, it's pronounced "Fran-kun-steen."
Igor: Oh, I see.
Freddy: You must be Igor.
Igor: No, it's pronounced "Eye-gor."
Freddy: But they told me it was Igor.
Igor: Well they were wrong then weren't they?

The face Feldman makes at the end of that line cracks me up every time.

Literally JUST got back from New York where I saw this on stage! One of my top 5 favourite movies and now probably one of my favourite stage shows.

There's a stage show?? What's it like? Is it like the movie?

It's a musical on Broadway right now! Mel Brooks wrote all the songs and helped write the book, so it's in the same vein of The Producers when it was made into a musical. It's not the greatest MUSICAL I've ever seen, but it's been a while since I've laughed that hard at a stage show. I definitely recommend it!

One of my favorite movies. I used to put it on to go to sleep when there was nothing else on TV. It got to be a habit, and now I know the first twenty minutes or so by rote. After that I usually fall asleep.

Doesn't matter how many things I have racing through my head, all I think about when watching this movie are the lines.
