Title: The Best of Mel Brooks!!!!
Review: "Oh de Camptown Ladies sing dis song..." I loooove this film. Some of the greatest comedians working with one of the Twentieth Centuries greatest directors. Mel Brooks turned what would have probably been quite a dreary script (originally called TEX X) into a work of pure comedic genius. There is something quite subversive about this film that he never quite managed before or since.Cleavon Little as Sheriff Bart is right on the button, especially in his initial reaction to the townsfolks bigotry ("Oh, Lordylord!!! He means it!!!! Do what he say!!!!!!"). Gene Wilder is at his absolute peak never missing a laugh and even getting some quite unexpected giggles from some rather mundane lines. Harvey Korman, Madeline Kahn, Slim Pickens... in fact the casting is so right that this is one of the most faultless spoofs ever made!!!!!!"...do dah, do dah."
Is the review positive or negative?
