The Cheap Detective is a true masterpiece that I'm surprised isn't better known.<br /><br />Young Frankenstein and Blazing Saddles are truly spectacular, and you can tell that the writers truly loved the genres they were lampooning. However, Gene Hackman's tour de force performance as the blind hermit has made it difficult for me to enjoy the original films anymore. I just can't keep a straight face, and keep thinking about Hackman's sophisticated, "bordering on gay" treatment of the character. Superb!<br /><br /> saber tooth owlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06961680277613073053noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3119105822589181967.post-11545735494827896282015-02-27T23:15:13.234-05:002015-02-27T23:15:13.234-05:00I loved "Murder By Death!"

Talk about a stellar cast! Between David Niven, Peter Falk, Peter Sellers -- even Truman Capote! -- et al. I can't stop laughing when I watch it. Incidentally, I understand the screaming doorbell was an un-credited sound recording of Fay Wray, though I don't know whether that's really true.Dixon Hillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11220791609338404147noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3119105822589181967.post-78839204172390016022015-02-26T11:45:40.329-05:002015-02-26T11:45:40.329-05:00A great list and some of my favorites. Young Frank...A great list and some of my favorites. <i>Young Frankenstein</i> and <i>Blazing Saddles</i> had so many great quotes… some of them marginally printable. Perhaps the best line in <i>Young Frankenstein</i> wasn't spoken at all, but was Madeline Kahn's… well… inarticulate expression.<br /><br />Thinking of Gene Wilder and his friends reminded me of another great: <i>The Adventure of Sherlock Holmes' Smarter Brother</i>.Leigh Lundinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07921276795499571578noreply@blogger.com
