Gene Wilder RIP
Truly great comic actor.
Simply sublime in The Producers and excellent in Willy Wonka, Young Frankenstein (which he wrote) and Stir Crazy. Strangely muted in Blazing Saddles which was otherwise an excellent fillum.

Well worth watching The Producers if anybody hasn't seen it (or hasn't seen it for a while). One of the funniest fillums of all time.

The original though, not the 2005 re-make. "Springtime for Hitler" is genius.big mervyn wrote:Well worth watching The Producers if anybody hasn't seen it (or hasn't seen it for a while). One of the funniest fillums of all time.

The genius behind the producers was Mel Brooke also the History of the world part 1

The unfortunate thing about some of those films was they couldn't bring them to a suitable end .
The ending to Some Like it Hot was an ad lib

In a funny way, I always thought he could have played no.6 ............ almost certainly in a very funny way.
Funny man, yet had that look of sadness that many of the great comedians seem to carry around with them.

NEVER MOVE ON. Years on, I cannot ever watch Ireland with anything but indifference, I continue to wish for the imminent death of Donal Spring, the FIRFUC's executioner of Wee Paddy & Wee Stu, and I hate the FIRFUCs with undiminished passion.

Re: Gene Wilder RIP
Young Frankenstein was my perfect film... Gene Wilder and Marty Feldman together.

Just try to watch Young Frankenstein and Blazzing Saddles, back to back.
You're aul head would explode with laughter. I may be going way out on a limb here, but I think they'd raise a smile on Andy Murray's coupon.
Wilder's timing is nearly as good as CP's

Loved him in all the movies I saw him in but Willy Wonka is always special for me due to every year seeing it as a child at Christmas.

It is a man's own mind, not his enemy or foe, that lures him to evil ways.
Re: Gene Wilder RIP
Young Frankenstein is brilliant. I rented it so often back in the 80s that the video library owner just gave it to me. I now have the DVD, but even now, there are little references, or little background details that I am seeing for the 1st time.
