Directed by Mel Brooks, starring Gene Wilder, Marty Feldman, Madeleine Kahn, Teri Garr, Peter Boyle, Cloris Leachman, Gene Hackman, and others. I will state without reservation that this is the funniest movie ever made. If you haven't seen it before, I hope that doesn't set you up for too-high expectations leading to disappointment, but it's the simple truth. Although it's typical Brooks-slapstick, with classic vaudeville elements, it's also a bit more sophisticated than most of his comedies, and the cast works together exceptionally well here. To ensure maximum enjoyment, consider first watching the 1934 "Bride of Frankenstein."
