Absolutely love Young Frankenstein, really disappointed to have missed this viewing with you guys.... Mel Brooks, Gene Wilder et al. are a bit of an acquired taste over here, with plenty of my friends over the years really not fans of Brooks' work.
As for Kenneth Mars that's what he does and I guess you either like it or can do without it. I think he's great though, in a film filled with great performances he still manages to do his thing. And his performance in The Producers is unforgettable. He went on to have a pretty solid career in voice work and I thought he was great in Malcolm in the Middle playing the German Hotel owner, stealing every scene he's in with his ridiculous style.
The Puttin' on the Ritz scene might be one of my favourites in any comedy, ever. Perfection.
