Description de l'ouvrage:
Mel Brooks is often regarded as one of Hollywood’s funniest men, thanks to such highly successful films as The Producers, Blazing Saddles, and Young Frankenstein. His films do have a tendency to turn out much like the jokes that comprise them—hit-or-miss, one minute shoot-the-moon brilliant and the next minute well short of laughs.

This work provides a thorough synopsis and thematic analysis for each of his twelve films along with complete cast and production credits: The Producers (1968), The Twelve Chairs (1970), Blazing Saddles (1974), Young Frankenstein (1974), Silent Movie (1976), High Anxiety (1977), History of the World—Part 1 (1981), To Be or Not to Be (1983), Spaceballs (1987), Life Stinks (1991), Robin Hood: Men in Tights (1993), and Dracula: Dead and Loving It (1995).

À propos de l'auteur :
Teacher Robert Alan Crick has written analyses for various journals and books about radio, television, and the movies. He lives in Russellville, Kentucky.

Revue de Presse:
"enthusiastic"—Film Review; "useful and interesting features…a notable and impressive list of the moviemaker’s work throughout his career"—Film & History.
