“Blazing Saddles” and “Young Frankenstein” were released in the same calendar year.
Marinate on that for a while.
“The Producers” was nice as well.

And they grabbed me by the scrotum
And they started playing ping-pong with my balls!
Oy, the agony!
Ooh, the shame!
They make my privates public for a game?

There is not a more amazing moment in cinema history than the opening number of the play “Springtime for Hitler” in The Producers.

I new Mel back in the 80's and he was really nice and hilarious as you can imagine. Young folks need to watch his movies.

Don’t worry, you’ll still have his late life son, Maxamillion, when he’s gone.

Apparently, he cast and signed an unknown NYC stage actor to play Franz Liebkind in The Producers. It was Dustin Hoffman, a Greenwich Village neighbor. Hoffmann told him he had a chance at the lead in a new Mike Nichols movie, The Graduate, and had to go to L.A. for a screen test. Neither Brooks nor Hoffman thought he’d get the part and figured he’d be back from L.A. to start his role as the crazed Nazi author of “Springtime for Hitler”. He got the part. Brooks recast Kenneth Mars, even though he had Hoffman under contract. Worked out good for Mars. Worked out great for Hoffman.
