      Love watching you explore these movies for the first time. I would recommend watching the 1938 “The Adventures of Robin Hood” if you want to see where some of the plot and aesthetics that weren’t a parody of Prince of Thieves comes from. Hope you enjoy the recommendation and keep up the fantastic content.

One of his first gags was hooking up a loud speaker and blasting a famous Jewish singer (brooks himself also Jewish) to drown out nazi propaganda. He thought it was hilarious, after the war he wrote “the producers” which features a song called “springtime for hitler”

      It started well before the war. Brooks was a small, weak kid, and the youngest of four brothers in a poor family whose father died when he was two. He dealt with a lot of bullying and teasing growing up, and used jokes and comedy as a way to cope and get out of situations. He turned that into a career in comedy and show business starting at age 14.

      Yes, I agree that as a comedienne her role here was brilliant. Not only did The Simpsons start on her show, she was the original voice of Marge. On top of that, she hated the cartoon. She didn't think anything of it, that it would not go anywhere, and thought it should be cancelled. However, once The Simpsons had gained a level of fame that her show never had, she was known to tout that if it wasn't for her and how her show "nurtured" them; that they would not have made it and if it wasn't for her, we wouldn't have them. She is also known to have mentioned that she was glad that she could help them get a start and happy for their success. Still, she was absolutely brilliant in this movie.

He had a minor lisp, he copied some of his American mother's speaking habits and he drank heavily to muster up the courage to speak in public because of the first 2 reasons. That said, the man had a powerful way about him that people listened to. The speech they're poking fun of was actually very important and inspired a lot of soldiers. I learned part of it for an acting class and listened to the last few paragraphs of it (all we had time for) over and over to copy him as best I could. He may have talked a little funny but, the man knew _what_ to say.

      I think said he THOUGHT it was a prank call, when really it wasn't. Mel Brooks really did initially call him to ask him for the role.

      @@Zodia195 Sorry. Meant to say thought it was a prank. My phone sometimes deletes complete words if I go to erase an error.
