McGuffins Indeed! Fun Homage to Hitchcock
4 out of 5 stars
McGuffins Indeed! Fun Homage to Hitchcock
Dr. Richard Thorndyke arrives in Los Angeles to take over as head of The Psycho-Neurotic Institute for the Very Very Nervous. Its front gate has a sign stating "Keep In". He had an awful flight over and is distressed to find that his office balcony is also very high up. Yes, Thorndyke has "high anxiety".Soon, he is caught up in an investigation. His predecessor died in suspicious circumstances and something strange is going on at the institute. And we're not talking about just Nurse Diesel and her mustache. The wrong person finds out about Thorndyke's phobia and from then on he's in mortal danger.Mel Brooks dedicated "High Anxiety" to Alfred Hitchcock. It is fun to catch the scenes of specific homage to Hitchcock films, especially "Psycho" and "Vertigo". The references aren't always direct. For example, at one point, Thorndyke (played by Brooks himself) travels to San Francisco for a conference. He books in only to find out that his room is on the 17th floor. Thorndyke tells the clerk, "I thought I specificially requested a room on a lower floor, nothing higher than 3."The clerk replies, "We had 201 all set for you, Sir, but a Mr. McGuffin called and told us to change it." Hitchcock, of course, popularized the film term, McGuffin.The pacing of "High Anxiety" is slow. There are some very good gags, though, and Brooks is funny as Thorndyke. 4 stars and a movie to keep.Mel Brooks directed twelve films in all, acting in all but one of them. Eight of his movies, including "High Anxiety" are collected in a slipcase in Mel Brooks Bx Sm Cb.Happy Reader

    5.0 out of 5 stars The Critics Miss The Point Completely
    Reviewed in the United States on February 9, 2001
    Verified Purchase
    For some reason, High Anxiety is not nearly as admired as some of Mel Brooks' other films. I don't think I've ever read a truly glowing review of High Anxiety. No one really hates it, but no one really likes it, either. Roger Ebert explained that because Alfred Hitchcock's films contained so much humor, High Anxiety, as a satire was unnecessary and redundant.
    If this is indeed the rationale for High Anxiety's lukewarm reception, then I personally think that ALL of the critics just don't get it. While it's true that Hitchcock films contain loads of humor (Robert Donat's political speech in The 39 Steps, the auction scene in North By Northwest and Alec McCowen's "gourmet" meals in Frenzy come to mind), the most vivid Hitchcock moments are dead serious. The burning of Manderley in Rebecca, the fight on the merry-go-round in Strangers on a Train, the bell tower scene in Vertigo, the cropduster attack in North By Northwest and, of course, the shower scene in Psycho are deadly serious scenes. These are the moments that Brooks spoofs in High Anxiety. The humor is dead on, giving the serious Hitchcock buffs several gigantic laughs throughout the film.
    Take, for example, Brooks' take on the shower scene from Psycho. Director Barry Levinson plays a psychotic bellboy who is pushed over the edge by Brooks' repeated requests for a newspaper. He bursts into Brooks' hotel bathroom and "stabs" him with the newspaper. Brooks duplicates every angle and visual detail of the original, right down to Janet Leigh's fuzzy bathroom slippers. He uses ink from the newspaper to simulate the blood swirling down the drain in Psycho. It's a obvious target, but Brooks presents the scene with such care and such genuine affection for the original that it work beautifully as both satire and an homage.
    Brooks recognizes that even though Hitchcock was one of the most innovative and technically brilliant filmmakers of all time, even he, like every other director, relied on favorite storytelling devices. For example, Brooks and Ron Carey are driving down the highway discussing a psychiatrist who recently died under mysterious circumstances. When Carey declares that he thinks it was murder, ominous string music, a la Bernard Herrmann, comes blasting onto the soundtrack. Brooks and Carey look out the window of the car and see the Los Angeles Philharmonic in a bus next to them, providing on-the-spot musical accompaniment. Because Hitchcock was such a master craftsman, these "cliches" never got in the way of the audience's enjoyment of the film. However, Brooks recognizes these "cliches" and brilliantly spoofs them.
    I wish the critics would take another look at High Anxiety and recognize that it belongs right beside The Producers, Blazing Saddles, Young Frankenstein, Silent Movie and History of the World Part I as one of Mel Brooks' best. If any director is a ripe target for satire, it's Alfred Hitchcock. It's a tribute to The Master that hits its target dead center.

    We hadn't seen this movie in decades and was in the mood for an old fashion comedy and this delivered. Sometimes older movies don't hold up but this did. Still laughed, good acting, silly but a nice light comic relief which is what we were looking for.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Mel Brooks schwindelerregend-amüsante Hommage an Sir Alfred Hitchcock!
    Reviewed in Germany on August 13, 2024
    Verified Purchase
    Bei Mel Brooks Höhenkoller aus dem Jahr 1977 handelt es sich um eine liebevoll inszenierte Hommage bzw. Filmparodie auf die populärsten Filme von Alfred Hitchcock und so werden hier zum Beispiel die Klassiker Das Fenster zum Hof, Vertigo – Aus dem Reich der Toten, Der Unsichtbare Dritte, Psycho oder Die Vögel kreativer Bestandteil von Mel Brooks gnadenloser Zielscheibe.

    Der Humor dieser Persiflage ist jedenfalls auf herrliche Weise klamaukig, respektlos und macht gerade aufgrund der zahlreich zündenden Gags einfach Spaß. Trotzdem gelingt es Mel Brooks sich nicht gänzlich im Meer der Gags zu verlieren und dadurch schafft man es nachvollziehbare und teils lockere Verbindungen zwischen den Gags und sketchartigen Szenen aufzubauen.

    Schauspielerisch beeindruckt mich in dieser Filmparodie neben Mel Brooks slapstickreicher Darstellung vor allem die 2021 verstorbene Schauspielerin Cloris Leachman, die für ihre verrückt angelegte Darstellung der Figur Schwester Diesel ihren wohlverdienten Platz im Olymp der erinnerungswürdigsten Filmrollen der Filmgeschichte bekommen hat.

    Fazit: Aus meiner Sicht einer der wichtigsten Filme unter den Filmparodien und für Fans davon auf jeden Fall eine klare Empfehlung.

    Kleiner Fun Fact: Von Sir Alfred Hitchcock gab es übrigens für Mel Brooks als Zeichen seiner Anerkennung, eine Kiste mit teuren Wein und dem Hinweis, dass er keine Angst davor zu haben bräuchte.

    This movie is oh so Mel Brooks. You will find that you can keep seeing this movie over and over because of the laughs you get every-time you see it. I still find myself saying " I got it, I got it, I don't got it" and everyone who has seen this movie knows what I mean and where the statement came from.
    The comedy actors collected in the roles are timeless with their role playing and perfect to bring this movie to the public and make them laugh. This is not a restricted type of humour and would be enjoyed by children over 8 years old.

    Good Brooks movie that will appeal to the older audience. I understood where the parodied scenes came from because I am part of the older audience. English audio with non- removable Spanish subtitles which is not stated on the cover. Other choices are the Spanish audio and subtitles. otherwise happy enough
