Gene Wilder is so young! Uh..huh..huh…huh
Screwing old ladies for a living. I’ve done worse.
Milk Maid and Stable boy
Thursday…we can play on Thursday.
The Contessa and The Chauffeur. Wasn’t that the plot behind Driving Mrs. Daisy ….Crazy. The granny porn nobody wanted to see.
Why is he driving Speed Buggy on that old lady’s lap.
Hold be touch me. Gouge my eyes out.
The classic “not enough hair for the top of your head so let’s grow out what we do have” and swirl it around and get really sweaty.
The cruel rape of Lucretia. I’ll be rape.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Rape_of_Lucretia

Love Wilder’s semi nervous smile.
I’m having a rhetorical conversation
Hundreds of little old ladies…the best business plan.
He was a once was…now a has been.
The clean freak in me was dying during the coffee window cleaning.
You reckon that was Justin Bieber down in that fancy town car he was yelling at?

Stage acting. Yelling is comedy.

This is a Bugs Bunny toon if I ever saw one.
Octagon glasses.
Creative accounting
Worst play ever
Step 1 through Step 6

The hot dog vendor is a biznatch.
War and Piece? was that a real movie?
The corruption of Leo Bloom.. Money and power is calling him away from his drab gray existence.
The Metamorphosis…Transformer into a giant cockroach. Too good.
Springtime for Hitler.

Naaaazeees. – Churchhill
Checks to cash.

Lee Meredith. One of Mel Brooks favorites.
Some weird pointy booby bras they used to wear in the 60s
Brooks loved to use that low brow sexism humor.
Treating a man like a baby was all the rage back then.
The Monocle Maniac of the director Congavia? Personal secretary.
The Foley work in this movie is weird.
accidentally touching a man’s statue ass made people uncomfortable back then. Touching other men was uncomfortable. So homophobic.
Cross dressing Belvedere. My favorite.
Shutup. He thinks he’s witty.
Dancing Hitlers.
Ballet Hitler made the most sense visually.
We are only seeing singing Hitlers!
Cutting Hitlers short
Boomerang Baby.
Beautiful Dreamer….
Respberry’s were all the rage in the late 60s
Beatnik. Always, calling Dick Shawn “young man”…I think that was his thing.
Dick Shawn. Never knew of him before this movie. But he had to influence Robin Williams. His stream of consciousness comedy. Trivia. He died on stage…literally at a performance at San Diego.
Campbell soup can. High art in the ordinary was only visible if you were high as fuck. That was the attitude of the average person during this time period.
This is rated PG…but the sexual stuff is right on the edge. Those pasties barely cover up anything on the World ladies in the musical
This was to be inappropriate for the time. To Celebrate Hitler.
It’s hard for me to relate for my generation. Now put up a cold war villain and I am in.
Well the Broadway play was not a flop.

They continue to do their thing even in prison.
They never learn their lesson.
Interesting bookend credits.
