Hitchcock was immediately flattered to have Brooks’ attention this late in his career, especially after seeing Blazing Saddles, which Hitch reportedly told Brooks was “miraculously funny.” They met for lunch. It turned out to be the first of many weekly meetings, as Hitchcock gave acute notes and suggestions to Brooks throughout the pre-production process. Hitchcock attended the premiere, sitting next to Brooks for the entirety of the film, "He didn’t say he liked the picture. He didn’t say he hated the picture. He didn’t say anything. He just left.” Brooks was devastated. Brooks found in his office a huge box covered with silver paper and a red ribbon. It was a gift wrapped case containing six bottles of Chateau Haut Brion 1961-a very old, and very expensive French wine. The bottles also came with a note. “My dear Mel, What a splendid entertainment, one that should give you no anxieties of any kind. I thank you most humbly for your dedication and I offer you further thanks on behalf of the Golden Gate Bridge. With kindest regards and again my warmest congratulations. Hitch.”
This was the first Mel Brooks movie I saw when I was only about 5 or 6 years old. It was my introduction to Madeline Kahn and the reason my 17 year old chinchilla is named Harvey. I am now 46 and this is still one of my favorite movies.
The scene where the killer is choking Dr Thorndyke when he's on the phone is a reference to Dial M For Murder, Hitchcock's only 3D movie. The shot from the glass table is a reference to his first hit The Lodger.
One of my favorite Mel Brooks’ movies. “You don’t tell ME what’s neca, I tell YOU what’s neca!” The check-in guy played Mr. Carlin on The Bob Newhart Show.
He and then-wife Valerie Curtin, Jane Curtin's cousin, co-wrote the legal satire, "And Justice For All", starring Al Pacino. Barry, Val and Al all earned Oscar nominations.
The airport pervert was played by Robert Ridgely. You probably didn't recognize him because he's usually wearing an eye patch and a hunchback as Boris the executioner from Blazing Saddles and Robin Hood, Men In Tights.
The one Hitchcock movie that this movie clearly references is Spellbound (1945) with Ingrid Bergman and Gregory Peck. The movie is set in a mental institution.This is my FAVORITE Mel Brooks spoof movie, although The Producers would be my favorite! It never gets old!
Young Cloris Leachman was be pretty. I love that she was not so vain to take on these crazy type roles. She's very good at crazy.... or should I say...mentally disturbed.. lol😂
The "Cocker Spaniel" patient was played by Charlie Callas, another stand up comedian. He was a frequent guest on The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson, back in the day.
This was a hoot! I enjoyed it even more now in this watchalong/reaction than I did when I first saw it more than 45 (!!! ) years ago. (I've seen all of Hitchcocks major films, and a good number of his lesser-known ones, multiple times in that 45-year interval, so I appreciated all the subtle and not so subtle references Brooks wove into this movie much more than I did back then.) Several members of the cast appeared in more than one Brooks movie. Madeleine Kahn, Harvey Korman, and Cloris Leachman (along with Gene Wilder and a few others) virtually constituted a Mel Brooks repertory company, contributing significantly to the wackiness that prevails in most of the director's work. Ron Carey (Brophy) shows up again in Brooks's "History of the World: Part 1." Incidently, contrary to the crazed, frightening image that Cloris Leachman presents in "High Anxiety" and in "Young Frankenstein", she was actually a quite attractive woman. An extremely gifted and versatile actress in drama as well as comedy, she enjoyed a long and varied career in film, television and the theatre, working almost until her death a few years ago at age 94.
Anyone else see this film before watching any Hitchcock movie? Always thought that it stands up alone as a comedy without knowing any of the references - and then made the Hitchcock films better 😊
If I recall, I had seen at least three Hitchcock films-North by Northwest, and both versions of The Man who Knew Too Much. I had not yet seen Psycho, Vertigo, or The Birds. And it’s possible the film contains references to Hitchcock films I still haven’t seen. Even though it isn’t a Hitchcock film, I’m pretty sure Nurse Diesel is a parody of Nurse Ratched from One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest (which I also saw later).
I was a kid when I first saw it with my parents in the theater. I was 8 so I hadn’t seen any Hitchcock films at that time. It made me laugh then though. I showed it to my daughter when she was about my age when I first saw it and she loved it. Especially the “I got it, I got it, I don’t got it..” bit.
I also had a black and white cat with a spot on his face that made him look like he had half a mustache and yes his name was Norton again because of the movie.
The hotel lobby served as the lobby of the Glass Tower in The Towering Inferno. The Bell Boy is Barry Levenson who won the Best Director Oscar for Rain Man. The airport security guy in the blue shirt ("I beeped"?) is Sandy Helberg father of Simon Helberg aka Howard on The Big Bang Theory.
I saw this several times as a kid and the "psycho shower" scene literally kills me...on a side note, I never get tired of the applause the little one gets when she walks in...makes me SO miss all the great sitcoms of the 70's and I laugh every time. It's kinda become a staple of your reactions and totally adds to the fun.
you & me - BTW this film shows my Favorite hotel, the SF Hyatt Regency embarcadero . its the Famous one w/ the rotating Restaurant , iconic Elevators and it used to have a artificial creek running and Infinity pool w / sculpture, not for swimming.
Re: _Rear Window,_ recall that Jimmy Stewart's character is a photographer. More directly referenced, however, is Michelangelo Antonioni's 1966 classic, _Blow-Up._ It stars David Hemmings as a fashion photographer who thinks a tiny detail in a photo he took in a park shows a dead body, so he blows up the picture to see if it is a body. Mel Brooks singing "High Anxiety" parodies Doris Day singing "Que Sera, Sera" in Hitchcock's 1956 remake of _The Man Who Knew Too Much._
Whenever I'm doing some heavy lifting, I say, "I got it! I got it! ....... I ain't got it!" I don't know anyone who gets the reference... Glad you enjoyed it, top tier comedy.
I'm pretty sure Brophy's constant photo-taking is the primary nod to Rear Window. That's a tough one to do anything with in this context, along with Rope.
Madeline kahns hat is worn by Karen Black in family plot (1976) dir, by Hitchcock starring Barbara Harris who was also the mom of jodie foster in , freaky Friday (1976) of the same year , 1976 ✨😏
An amazing classic of a movie! Great job you two for reacting to it; I don't think I've seen anyone else picking this one up, so total kudos! Absolute banger of a cast in this flick. Madeline Kahn was one of my all-time favorite actresses and hands-down one of my celebrity hall pass requests. I just think she'd have been utterly hilarious to hang out with. Thanks for the great video Mr. and Mrs.!
The hotel clerk is Jack Riley, who you've probably seen lots of times. He has a list of TV and film credits a mile long. It would seem Mrs. Movies needs to check out a Marx Brothers flick or two!
Great reaction you two to this underrated Mel Brooks classic. "I'll get you your paper, I'll get your paper...🚿🗞️...Here, here, here, here, here's your paper, happy now, happy....that boy gets no tip" 😂
Mel was known as having a stock company of actors, as he liked to cast the same actors in multiple films. I believe the film of his that had the most stock players was "History of the World: Part 1" The cast included at least 11 Mel Brooks regulars (or semi-regulars).
One of my favorite Mel Brooks movies. One of my favorite stories about the movie that I've heard was that Mel Brooks had a private showing of the movie for Alfred Hitchcock before the film's release to see what he thought of it. Hitchcock watched the movie and left without saying a word. Thinking Hitchcock didn't like the movie, Mel Brooks came into his office the next day and found a case of wine with a card from Hitchcock congratulating him on the movie.
My favorite Mel Brooks movie is The Twelve Chairs(1970). High Anxiety is on the lower end of Mel Brooks for me, but that's like saying Rembrandt had some paintings that were worse than others.
Alfred Hitchcock suggested a scene for High Anxiety. Dr: Thorndyke would jump onto ferry, but instead going out it was coming in. Silent Movie is a Mewl Brooks tribute to slapstick comedy. With Marry Feldman, Dom Deluise, and a talking mime.
Without a clue , Plains ,trains and automobiles , Pink panther , The great outdoors , Dances with wolves, Young guns 1 & 2 , Mad max , Lethal weapons , Oscar, Ace ventura Austin powers Try those if you haven't seen them Thanks, lots of love Rick xxx.
I’m reading Mel Brooks’ autobiography. He met with Hitchcock and went over the scenes to make sure he approved. Hitchcock sent him a case of Mouton Rothschild after seeing it. He loved it!
Every Hitchcock film is referenced at some point, some more obviously than others. Brooks singing echoes Doris Day singing in The Man Who Knew Too Much remake
Some of the camera shots are references in and of themselves. The one where the camera breaks the widow and the one where we're looking up through the coffee table. Not even sure which movies those are references to, but I know they're references just by the way the bit goes on. Rope maybe? Strangers on a Train? There are several that I'm not as familiar with... and a few that I haven't seen at all.
Professor Lilloman was played by Howard Morris a character actor best known for playing Ernest T Bass on the Andy Griffith show. Plus was on Your Show of Shows with Sid Cesar
The "Mr McGuffin" bit was a reference to the 'McGuffin' plot-device that Hitchcock invented and then it was then adopted by other directors afterwards as a red-herring in the story. (I forgot which Hitchcock film it originally came from though. An early one I think.)
OK, you guys really need to see Spellbound, the Hitchcock movie which was the primary inspiration for this - I've always considered it one of Hitchcock's best.
When Hitchcock walked out at movie's end without saying a word, Mel Brooks feared that Hitchcock hated the movie. But days later, Hitchcock sent a congratulatory case of wine to Brooks, knowing that Brooks was a wine connoisseur, and declared the film "Splendid! I wish I had done it."
Hitchcock movies we both have seen: The Birds, Rear Window, Vertigo (on our channel), and Psycho (on our channel). I have seen a few more than that.
Any chance to watch History of the World with Mel Brooks?
@@georgemamalis eventually.
Have you seen The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, The Seeker: The Dark is Rising, Reign of Fire, Percy Jackson, Eragon?
You have 'on our channel' mentioned twice? May want to re-edit ? confused
Frenzy? That's a good one of Hitchcocks too 😊

This was the first Mel Brooks movie I saw when I was only about 5 or 6 years old. It was my introduction to Madeline Kahn and the reason my 17 year old chinchilla is named Harvey. I am now 46 and this is still one of my favorite movies.
Young Frankenstein was mine when I was 5 and saw it with my parents at the drive in. I saw this one with them as well when it came out too.
The scene where the killer is choking Dr Thorndyke when he's on the phone is a reference to Dial M For Murder, Hitchcock's only 3D movie. The shot from the glass table is a reference to his first hit The Lodger.
One of my favorite Mel Brooks’ movies. “You don’t tell ME what’s neca, I tell YOU what’s neca!” The check-in guy played Mr. Carlin on The Bob Newhart Show.
And Prof. Lilloman was played by Howard Morris, Ernest T. Bass on The Andy Griffith Show.
Jack Riley also voiced Stu Pickles on the cartoon, "Rugrats".
Alfred Hitchcock loved this tribute to his movies.
I love how he didn't show it at the theater. He just walked out. No laughs. No smiles. Just walked out. Hitch played a little joke on Mel.
Kinda underrated. The statue scene, bird chase, and cup shuffling scene all get a good laugh out of me.
Absolutely. This and Silent Movie (especially, for me) don't get enough love.
The bellboy is played by Barry Levinson who went on to direct Diner,Good Morning Vietnam,and Rain Man
He and then-wife Valerie Curtin, Jane Curtin's cousin, co-wrote the legal satire, "And Justice For All", starring Al Pacino. Barry, Val and Al all earned Oscar nominations.
The airport pervert was played by Robert Ridgely. You probably didn't recognize him because he's usually wearing an eye patch and a hunchback as Boris the executioner from Blazing Saddles and Robin Hood, Men In Tights.
He also played the Colonel in "Boogie Nights" and voiced the title character in "Thundarr The Barbarian".
The one Hitchcock movie that this movie clearly references is Spellbound (1945) with Ingrid Bergman and Gregory Peck. The movie is set in a mental institution.This is my FAVORITE Mel Brooks spoof movie, although The Producers would be my favorite! It never gets old!
“One?” Lol.
Young Frankenstein was my gateway to horror movies and this movie was my gateway to Hitchcock. I absolutely love Mel Brooks 50 years later.
7:08--Howard Morris
18:07--Charlie Callas
18:26--Dick Van Patten
28:12--Jack Riley (The Bob Newhart Show)
Hitchcocks North by Northwest is a big part of this parody!
By the way, Dr. Wentworth here is Dick Van Patten. You saw him as Princess Vespa's father in "Space Balls".
Young Cloris Leachman was be pretty. I love that she was not so vain to take on these crazy type roles. She's very good at crazy.... or should I say...mentally disturbed.. lol😂
The "Cocker Spaniel" patient was played by Charlie Callas, another stand up comedian. He was a frequent guest on The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson, back in the day.
Madeline Kahn ( misspelled?) in:
“PAPER MOON “
with Ryan and Tatum O’Neal !!
Great as always!!
And "What's Up Doc".
The assassin and the patient who saw werewolves were played by two of the movie's screenwriters.
Mel Brooks served at the Battle of the Bulge in 1944. He was also part of the bomb disposal unit.
"I feel like I'm caught in a web!"
This was a hoot! I enjoyed it even more now in this watchalong/reaction than I did when I first saw it more than 45 (!!! ) years ago.

An extremely gifted and versatile actress in drama as well as comedy, she enjoyed a long and varied career in film, television and the theatre, working almost until her death a few years ago at age 94.
Mel Brooks said in several interviews that the Louis Vuitton car was one of his favorite visual gags.
Anyone else see this film before watching any Hitchcock movie?

Sandy was also in Spaceballs.
The psycho bellhop is future director Barry Levinson (best Director Rain Man 1989). Diner (1982) The Natural (1984) Good Morning, Vietnam (1987)
He didn't get a tip.
I saw this several times as a kid and the "psycho shower" scene literally kills me...on a side note, I never get tired of the applause the little one gets when she walks in...makes me SO miss all the great sitcoms of the 70's and I laugh every time.

I miss Cloris Leachman❤😢❤.
Me too.
I think she looks like Robert Duvall.😮
funniest woman ever..... she nailed every role she ever had as well
you & me - BTW this film shows my Favorite hotel, the SF Hyatt Regency embarcadero .
its the Famous one w/ the rotating Restaurant , iconic Elevators and it used to have a artificial creek running and Infinity pool w / sculpture, not for swimming.

Mel Brooks singing "High Anxiety" parodies Doris Day singing "Que Sera, Sera" in Hitchcock's 1956 remake of _The Man Who Knew Too Much._
Also, Mel Brooks often did impressions of Frank Sinatra on talk and variety shows.
This is my favorite of the Hitchcock movies! High Anxiety is a fantastic song!
Mel Brooks never made a bad film!
"Which one was Harpo?" The one who played the harp. They were ALL goofy.
Kahn's father was Albert Whitlock who was the matte painter for the movie.
Whenever Mel Brooks decides to pass on to other side. There should a day of mourning or weekend of Mel Brooks movies on all TV channels
Whenever I'm doing some heavy lifting, I say, "I got it! I got it! ....... I ain't got it!" I don't know anyone who gets the reference... Glad you enjoyed it, top tier comedy.
It's a forgotten jem. Thanks for choosing this movie
The Flasher in the Bathroom was the guy in "Boogie Nights" who
Ends up in Prison at the end.
Psycho-Neurotic Institute for the Very, Very Nervous, exteriors filmed at Mount St. Mary's University in Los Angeles.
I'm pretty sure Brophy's constant photo-taking is the primary nod to Rear Window. That's a tough one to do anything with in this context, along with Rope.
They were also spoofing the Hitchcock movie, SPELLBOUND. It's another great movie you should watch.
The phone booth was a bit of "Dial M for Murder".
Absolutely LEGENDARY PERFORMANCE by the late, great Cloris Leachman- she stole the entire film!!! With this cast, that speaks VOLUMES!!!
Madeline kahns hat is worn by Karen Black in family plot (1976) dir, by Hitchcock starring Barbara Harris who was also the mom of jodie foster in , freaky Friday (1976) of the same year , 1976 ✨😏

26:15 - MARXS BROTHERS GAP DETECTED! DUCK SOUP... STAT!
you & me - the Psych ward is actually St Marys college in LA. ........lol.
The hotel clerk is Jack Riley, who you've probably seen lots of times. He has a list of TV and film credits a mile long.
It would seem Mrs. Movies needs to check out a Marx Brothers flick or two!
The cab driver who picked Mel Brooks' character up at the airport was played by Ron Carey who played officer(later detective) Levitt on Barney Miller.
Silent Movie and To Be or Not To Be are great too.
Now you have to see a Marx Brothers-movie.
My late Fathers favorite film! Thank you for reacting to this!
Great reaction you two to this underrated Mel Brooks classic.
"I'll get you your paper, I'll get your paper...🚿🗞️...Here, here, here, here, here's your paper, happy now, happy....that boy gets no tip" 😂

The pink panther strikes again its a must watch

My favorite Mel Brooks movie is The Twelve Chairs(1970). High Anxiety is on the lower end of Mel Brooks for me, but that's like saying Rembrandt had some paintings that were worse than others.
At 20:28 or so, that's a parody of a famous scene from "Notorious", which I recommend highly.
Alfred Hitchcock suggested a scene for High Anxiety. Dr: Thorndyke would jump onto ferry, but instead going out it was coming in. Silent Movie is a Mewl Brooks tribute to slapstick comedy. With Marry Feldman, Dom Deluise, and a talking mime.
Without a clue ,

Aaaah! So cool you're watching this! One of my all-time favorites! 🥰🥰❤❤❤
I hope you also have Silent Movie on your shelf some where also.
The film is a parody of the suspense films of Alfred Hitchcock: Spellbound, Vertigo, Psycho and The Birds.
Some of the camera shots are references in and of themselves. The one where the camera breaks the widow and the one where we're looking up through the coffee table. Not even sure which movies those are references to, but I know they're references just by the way the bit goes on. Rope maybe? Strangers on a Train?

The Honeymoon hotel should have been the Bates.
when they pass the orchestra bus i always laff for a minute
A MST3K shout-out!!!! 😀😀❤❤
I spotted that excellent t-shirt immediately. Very. Cool.
Mel brooks best movies: 1 blazing saddles 2 high anxiety 3 young frankenstein
There were references to The Man Who Knew Too Much and Rear Window, looking across the courtyard.
Professor Lilloman was played by Howard Morris a character actor best known for playing Ernest T Bass on the Andy Griffith show. Plus was on Your Show of Shows with Sid Cesar
one of the greatest comedy writers of his era.... he, along with Mel and Carl Reiner were hysterical whenever they collaborated
This is one of my favorite Mel Brooks movies.
6:21 I looked it up St Mary's College...it's been in a lot of films.
Is that Ernest T. Bass from the Andy Griffith Show?
The "Mr McGuffin" bit was a reference to the 'McGuffin' plot-device that Hitchcock invented and then it was then adopted by other directors afterwards as a red-herring in the story. (I forgot which Hitchcock film it originally came from though. An early one I think.)
I reacted to this before, but it's gone... 😅
0:12 That's the 'church' where Madeline and Helen fall to pieces at the end of Death Becomes Her.
“What do you think about this?”
“YOU’RE NOT A COP!!”
“They wouldn’t TAKE ME!”
Madeline Kahn drives up in her Louis Vitton Cadillac Seville..wearing a matching Louis Vuitton Pants Suit....a Mel Brooks Classic scene...=)
Your review and comments about "High Anxiety" were (as always) brilliant! Many Hitchcock references were hysterical too.
14:10 the werewolf scene is, in my opinion, one of the funniest scenes in film history.
OK, you guys really need to see Spellbound, the Hitchcock movie which was the primary inspiration for this - I've always considered it one of Hitchcock's best.
this and Silent Movie are some of the most obscure and underappreciated MB movies
Another Mel Brooks film which is lesser known but a good one is Silent Movie. It’s pretty much a slapstick.
Ernest T. Bass
There was a movie about all the drama involved in getting new drapes for a care facility. I can't find it or remember the name.
The checking guy looks familiar because he was a patient on the Bob Newhart show.
There were a lot of camera shots that mimicked Hitchcock styles. I never caught that until now (I first saw this movie as a kid).
Great movie. Another great spoof on horror movie is Silence of the hams 1994.
I saw this movie ad a kid and still know all the lyrics to the song. Good times!
There's a parody of BLOW UP with the enlargement of the picture, and Braces parodied Jaws from THE SPY WHO LOVED ME and MOONRAKER
When Hitchcock walked out at movie's end without saying a word, Mel Brooks feared that Hitchcock hated the movie. But days later, Hitchcock sent a congratulatory case of wine to Brooks, knowing that Brooks was a wine connoisseur, and declared the film "Splendid! I wish I had done it."
My favorite mel brooks movie!! Lol. Thank yall for reacting to it
My Mum says that this was a big hit movie in the seventies.
especially at tourist attractions
2:10 She didn't get the reference. Vertigo is a Hitchcock movie
Mr. Movies tried his best.
All the photos from rear window
You have to watch next History of the World Pt.1 and Life Stinks!
What's the H for on his card refers to North by North West. Cary Grant says the O in Roger O. Thornhill stands for nothing.
