He was deputized I believe. What a great movie:
Are we awake?
We are not sure. Are weā¦ black?
Yes we are.
Than weāre awake. But weāre very puzzled.
Amen, and treating Alzheimerās would also improve our political discourse.
Teri Garr is still alive.
Putā¦the candleā¦backā¦
Yep, but suffering from MS, unfortunatelyā¦
āwhat knockersā
āoh, thank you doctorā
I knowā¦it was so sadā¦I didnāt want to type it.
Soā¦letās rememberā¦to āRoll rollā¦roll in ze hayā
To leave a legacy of laughter such as this ensures immortality. If there is a place where funny people go, I hope to visit. Goodbye Dr. Frankensteen.
Happy that he and Gila are together again. Two very special people who made me laughā¦and cry.
Cloris Leachman (Frau Blucher) is still alive I think.
Good catch. So thatās three people in the main cast still around from Young Frankenstein (Terry Garr, Gene Hackaman and Cloris Leachman).
The same idiot didnāt know the title of Thomas Wolfeās great novel, Look Homeward, Angel.
The story has it as Look Back, Homeward Angel.
This story is as poorly written and sourced as the AP smear of the Clinton Foundation.
My husband and I will be doing likewise. Itās been awhile since we watched Young Frankenstein and Blazing Saddles. I think our ten-year-old grandson would love to see them, too. Heās just the right age for the Frau Blucher and the campfire-beans scenes. Very sad to hear of Wilderās passing.
This is a documentary about Mel Brooks ā but of course, Gene Wilder is significantly featured. It has that great scene from The Producers in which Wilder has an episode of hysteria.
Oh, this makes me so sad! I had no idea he was 83 ā he was one of those people who seemed perpetually young.
Didnāt know he was suffering from Alzheimerās, either. Damn.
Thanks for all the laughs, Gene ā you were one of the great ones.
Not just a good actor, but a good human being. He sure deserves a better photo than the one paired with this article.
No! Thatās Franken-STEIN!
There is an Alzheimerās epidemic coming very soon. Unless one has money, the standard of care is very poor. It would be nice if Congress stopped wasting money on endless, futile wars and committed those billions to finding a cure for this devastating disease.
Yes, Young Frankenstein is one of his finest roles, and which he conceived, wrote himself, and partly cast. It really shows the breadth of his talent. It is also one of Mel Brooks best movies, for which he can thank Wilder - the only one that can perhaps be described as ācarefully restrainedā.
The Producers is of course legendary, and I will say nothing more here.
Willy Wonka is a brilliant performance, with Wilder as a wonderfully menacing hero. Childrenās movies need more menacing heroes.
He is great in Blazing Saddles but, coming out the same year as Young Frankenstein, I think it shows up as much the inferior movie in comparison. The comedy is typically Brooksian broad, kitchen-sink silliness, but its cleverness seems much less clever 40 years later, but Young Frankenstein has not lost a single bit of its brilliance.
And let us not forget his appealing, sensitive performance in Everything You Always Wanted to Know About Sex* (*But Were Afraid to Ask), where he makes a convincing romantic entanglement - with a sheep. How many actors could pull that off?
I had a terrific crush on Teri Garr in my younger daysā¦
