Movie Review: High Anxiety
Summary: 5 Stars
One of the funniest Mel Brooks movies ever. The take-off on Psycho is one of the best scenes in the film. My copy arrived quickly and in good order so I am totally pleased with everything.
Summary of High Anxiety
Mel Brooks' renowned spoof of the most famous Hitchcockian classics-"Vertigo" "The Birds" "Psycho" and "Spellbound"-is one of his most outrageous comedy classics. After a Harvard psychiatrist (Brooks) takes over the Psycho-Neurotic Institute for the Very Very Nervous he realizes his predecessor died under suspicious circumstances. When events take a murderous turn he is accused of the crime and left with a full blown case of High Anxiety. Madeline Kahn Harvey Korman and Cloris Leachman co-star in this hilarious parody.System Requirements:Running Time: 94 minutesFormat: DVD MOVIE Genre:?COMEDY UPC:?024543167198 Manufacturer No:?2226719An affectionate homage more than a spoof of Alfred Hitchcock thrillers, Mel Brooks's hilarious movie is one of the funniest modern comedies around. Brooks plays a psychiatrist with a severe fear of heights who moves to the Bay Area to take over a psychiatric hospital after its former head mysteriously disappears. He must contend with the resident psychiatrist (Harvey Korman) and the twisted resident nurse (Cloris Leachman) as they plot against him, eventually framing him for murder. While on the run, Brooks teams up with the alluring daughter (Madeline Kahn) of the missing doctor to solve the mystery and confront his own fears. Containing some classic sequences and cowritten by Barry Levinson (Rain Man, Wag the Dog), who appears briefly as a too-touchy bellhop in a Psycho-shower-scene takeoff, High Anxiety is a thoroughly enjoyable romp from one of the masters of comedy today. --Robert Lane
