The Producers (1968)
Location: Home (LaserDisc!)
Seen Before: No
Rating: 3.0
Some funny bits, but mostly just Zero being loud and obnoxious. Brooks has a ton of great ideas, but blows most of them. And the exposition at the opening? Talk about heavy-handed.
I have to note that this is the first film I've watched from my newly acquired 175-strong Laserdisc collection. Long live the cinema, no matter what format.

Definately. The concept is very clever, but somehow Brooks cinematic timing wasn't up to the level of Young Frankenstein.... maybe his peak?
It's tough for me to say, but I think, cinematically, YF is better than Blazing Saddles, though it's a close race for me. Oh, and Dracula: Dead and Loving It isn't far behind, naturally.
