Product Description

Amazon.ca

An affectionate homage more than a spoof of Alfred Hitchcock thrillers, Mel Brooks's hilarious movie is one of the funniest modern comedies around. Brooks plays a psychiatrist with a severe fear of heights who moves to the Bay Area to take over a psychiatric hospital after its former head mysteriously disappears. He must contend with the resident psychiatrist (Harvey Korman) and the twisted resident nurse (Cloris Leachman) as they plot against him, eventually framing him for murder. While on the run, Brooks teams up with the alluring daughter (Madeline Kahn) of the missing doctor to solve the mystery and confront his own fears. Containing some classic sequences and cowritten by Barry Levinson (Rain Man, Wag the Dog), who appears briefly as a too-touchy bellhop in a Psycho-shower-scene takeoff, High Anxiety is a thoroughly enjoyable romp from one of the masters of comedy today. --Robert Lane

5.0 out of 5 stars Make Me Laugh!!! Jan 17 2004
By powwowhappy
Format:VHS Tape
We all need movies, close at hand, that will make us laugh and fall off the chair!! That is what Mel Brooks does for me. So if you like funny, spoofy, sometimes silly and filled with inuindos, you will love this collection too. The description doesn't list it but Young Frankenstein is also in this collection.

5.0 out of 5 stars Mel Brooks Selection Jun 14 2000
By Chad Repko
Format:VHS Tape
This box set is essential for any Mel Brooks fan. You can watch how the popular director of such classics as 'Spaceballs' and 'Young Frankenstein' perfected his comedy with these early works such as 'Tweleve Chairs' and 'Silent Movie' all the way up to his more recent work of 'Robin Hood: Men In Tight". This box set is filled with the most classic comedies of the century.

4.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful parody, hysterical film
For my money, the best Mel Brooks' movies are the ones that he doesn't appear or barely appears in, like THE TWELVE CHAIRS, YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN, and THE PRODUCERS. Read more
