From Blazing Saddles to Young Frankenstein, Mel Brooks and Gene Wilder collaborated on some of the greatest comedies ever made.
Mel Brooks and Gene Wilder have collaborated several 'unique' comedies ever made, but some of those movies were better than others. Wilder’s zany acting style has always worked well with Brooks’ chaotic, anything-goes comedic sensibility. Whatever absurdist scenario Brooks threw at Wilder, the actor could find the truth and humanity in it.
The Producers is one of the most daring comedies ever made. From Look Who’s Back to Jojo Rabbit, Hitler has become a pretty common comedic target for shock laughs. However, Brooks was treading on mostly uncharted satirical territory in the 1960s. The Producers was released just over 20 years after the end of World War II, when many moviegoers still had fresh memories of the terrifying time and the Führer’s terrifying reign.
2 Young Frankenstein Brooks told the Los Angeles Times that Wilder pitched him the idea for Young Frankenstein on the set of Blazing Saddles. Wilder won Brooks over with a simple yet ingenious elevator pitch: “What if the grandson of Dr. Frankenstein wanted nothing to do with the family whatsoever?” After Blazing Saddles was finished, the two got to work on their first shared screenwriting credit and the result was a timeless comedy classic. Young Frankenstein has an impressive IMDb rating of 8.
