Title: BROOKS IS OFF NORMANs ROCKER
Review: They say imitation is the best form of flattery or maybe satire in this case. If you like Alfred Hitchcock and know the madness behind his method it is very likely that you will enjoy this picture. Brooks takes on the master of suspense and you should be amused. Brooks plays Dr. Thorndyke a psychiatrist who becomes the new director of a West Coast asylum. And so it starts... There are reference to "Vertigo," "Spellbound," "The Birds" and other Hitchcock classics which are very jolly indeed. Cloris Leachman, Harvey Korman, Ron Carey and Dick Van Patten are all featured. It was also good to see the forgotten Howard Morris once again. Albert Whitlock who was responsible for "The Birds" did the special effects on this film! One great asset to this film was John Morris' brilliant score, which was a tribute to Bernard Herrmann.
