Had a lovely afternoon/evening en famille for another of our "Film Club" viewings, at The Perseverance pub in the fabulously twee "hidden London village" of Lamb's Conduit Street in Bloomsbury [above] - this time entirely centred on the films of the legendary Mel Brooks, and we managed to get through The Producers, Blazing Saddles and Young Frankenstein. I haven't laughed so much in ages...
Time for this, methinks:
Genius.
Ah, sweet mystery of life!

DeleteAnything from mel Brooks is a good time and classic, I think. And at 99 still with us. And doing well I understand.
ReplyDeleteWe were musing on that very fact yesterday - somehow, the great man has managed to outlive just about all his "regular cast": Gene Wilder, Harvey Korman, Madeline Kahn, Dom DeLuise, Marty Feldman, Cloris Leachman, Cleavon Little, Zero Mostel, Dick Shawn, Kenneth Mars and even Teri Garr...
DeleteGood on him! Jx
