Mel Brooks går ikke af vejen for at parodiere selv de største mestre, som nu f.eks. Alfred Hitchcock i High Anxiety. Titlen antyder noget med højdeskræk og rigtig nok: historien tager sit udgangspunkt i Vertigo og beretter om en direktør for en "psykonerurotisk" anstalt, der svimler, blot han stiller sig op på en taburet. Men der er også masser af skægge hentydninger til berømte scener fra andre Hitchcock-film.

    I caught High Anxiety on TV and it felt like Hitchcock had been hijacked by a comedy troupe with a fog machine and a punchline addiction. Mel Brooks wasn’t just spoofing suspense, he was lovingly dismantling it, scene by scene, with a wink and a scream. What struck me most was the tone, it wasn’t mean-spirited. Brooks clearly adored Hitchcock and this was his way of saying thanks: by turning suspense into silliness and fear into farce. On TV, it felt like a secret handshake between film nerds. A late-night transmission from the comedy underground. A neurotic, noir ish spoof that turns Hitchcock’s greatest hits into a vaudeville act. Watching it on TV felt like discovering a hidden reel of cinematic mischief, one that made me laugh, cringe and appreciate just how far Mel Brooks would go for a gag.

    I remember watching "High Anxiety" in the 70s and not enjoying it much. After seeing a special on Mel Brooks, I decided to try it again. While I loved his other parody movies, this one still didn't click. The humor fell flat, and Gene Wilder deserves more credit as a lead in the other Brooks films.
