Mel Brooks is a comic genius. I love him and many of his movies. He's getting up there in age the poor dude, and I was soooooooo sad for him when Anne died not too many years ago.
WAT - Apparently the musical version of "Young Frankenstein" is less than great, but his best stuff still makes me laugh. I need to watch "High Anxiety" again after all these years.
It was always touching to see him and Anne together. They seemed like a couple that really dug each other right up to the end.
I like the Lombard one a little better but I'm with you when you say it is touching to see he and Anne together. Charles Durning turns in a pre- "eveningshade" post "whorehouse" performance that is over the top.
Gavin - I really don't remember the movie itself and think this song wasn't even in it but was just a promotion. Charles Durning, when he's on spot, can be amazing.

JunkThief is your typical Gallic Jew boy born on the Great Plains, went to Gotham and Ouagadougou and Kathmandu before settling in San Francisco's Mission District. Now he searches the dark alleys of that city to find good conversation, Weimar culture and (but of course) the perfect door knob.

Oh, how I love dear sweet Mel.
Jason - I always kinda dug this song too, in its wacky, silly way. I was pleased to find it again after all these years.
