Try to spot all the references in master parodist Mel Brooks’s gag-a-minute homage to/send up of the Master of Suspense, which features spot-on spoofs of Psycho, The Birds, Vertigo, and more.
Try to spot all the references in master parodist Mel Brooks’s gag-a-minute homage to/send up of the Master of Suspense. Brooks plays the very Leading Man-monikered Dr. Richard H. Thorndyke, a renowned but heights-averse psychiatrist who takes over as head of the Psycho-Neurotic Institute for the Very, Very Nervous, where he discovers some very, very strange goings-on. Along the way there’s murder, Madeline Kahn’s hilarious take on the Hitchcock blonde, and spot-on spoofs of classic set pieces from Psycho, The Birds, North by Northwest, and Vertigo. Best of all is the way Brooks satirizes key elements of Hitch’s style, from the elaborate dolly shots to the Bernard Herrmann-on-steroids score.
