Featured review
Why this movie is brilliant and funny:
1-A hilarious Gene Wilder with his amazing freak-out moments. I think many actors copied his scenes from this film.
2-Excellent satire about hitler and nazis. Many lines from this film are recognizable and became a comedy standard.
3-Amazing performance by Dick Shaw as L. S. D and as the theatrical hitler. He is funny and subversive at the same time.
4-Great 1on1 scenes with the main actors, especially the ones which involve heavy physical acting.
5- It is intelligent filmmaking which shows how progressive and funny Mel Brooks was; and that was his first film...
Just watch it, it's 1,5h and it's beautifully funny! 10/10.

Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaMel Brooks cannot read music. "Springtime for Hitler" and "Prisoners of Love" (as were all the songs Brooks writes for his films) were hummed into a tape recorder and transcribed by an expert. When Brooks adapted the movie into a stage musical, he wrote the entire score by himself using the same method.
- GoofsIn LSD's number "Love Power", his musical ensemble consists of a guitarist, keyboardist, and sax player; however, the music heard clearly has flute, bass guitar, drums, and other instruments not represented, but no saxophone.
- Quotes
Leo Bloom: I'm hysterical! I'm having hysterics. I'm hysterical. I can't stop when I get like this. I can't stop. I'm hysterical.
[Max throws a glass of water on him]
Leo Bloom: I'm wet! I'm wet! I'm hysterical, and I'm wet!
[Max slaps him]
Leo Bloom: I'm in pain! And I'm wet! And I'm still hysterical!
- Crazy creditsThe closing credits are in reverse order, acting like curtain calls, which lead up to the star actor.
- Alternate versionsSome prints eliminate the opening "Embassy Pictures" logo, as well as a few seconds of footage in the bar scene, including the drunk's dialogue "Let's have a toast...to toast! I love toast..." and the beginning of the song "By the Light of the Silvery Moon". Most prints just cut into the scene in the middle of the song verse.
