I ordered this DVD because it was a favorite movie of mine when I was a college student years ago. I wanted to own it so my kids could see it. A clever, and very funny, plot line tastefully parodies a very sad, serious period of history. An all-star cast, which includes Brooks' longtime wife, Anne Bancroft, makes this one a "Do Not Miss!" And it is appropriate for all ages. You'll love it!
Great film, Brooks at his finest. Under-rated but a great portrayal of Brooks pretending to be Hitler ("Heil Myself!"). Charles Durning is a fantastic SS officer and the rest of the cast as well. Normally re-makes aren't up to par, but this one is as good as the Jack Benny/Carole Lombard original. It holds true to the original but manages the typical Brooks humor. You could do a lot worse on movie night.
Mel Brooks was amazing. The performances by Ann Bancroft and Charles Durning were magnificent. The writing, acting and its direction were very good. This show was funny and highly entertaining.
