High Anxiety (1977)
Country: US
Technical: col 94m
Director: Mel Brooks
Cast: Mel Brooks, Madeline Kahn, Cloris Leachman
Synopsis:
A psychiatrist with acrophobia goes to work at a mental institution whose well-defended secrets ultimately find him framed for murder.
Review:
The director's string of genre parodies continues with this Hitchcock homage, the most obvious inspiration being Vertigo. Other films naturally draw honorable mention, though not necessarily more than the self-congratulatory laughter of recognition. On the whole less fun than watching Brian De Palma.
