The first Producers is my favorite. Then Young Frankenstein, then Blazing Saddles.

I've always thought that Mel is funnier than any move he ever made, though.

Love the guy.

People are too dense or too focused on their own cause/slight to bother to grasp the bigger picture.

A great many no longer have the ability or a broad enough education to grasp nuance in any way...
