High Anxiety By Robert Lane
An affectionate homage more than a spoof of Alfred Hitchcock thrillers,
Mel Brooks's hilarious movie is one of the funniest modern comedies
around. Brooks plays a psychiatrist with a severe fear of heights who
moves to the Bay Area to take over a psychiatric hospital after its former
head mysteriously disappears. He must contend with the resident
psychiatrist (Harvey Korman) and the twisted resident nurse (Cloris
Leachman) as they plot against him, eventually framing him for murder.
While on the run, Brooks teams up with the alluring daughter (Madeline
Kahn) of the missing doctor to solve the mystery and confront his own
fears. Containing some classic sequences and cowritten by Barry Levinson (Rain
Man, Wag the Dog), who appears briefly as a too-touchy
bellhop in a Psycho-shower-scene takeoff, High Anxiety is a
thoroughly enjoyable romp from one of the masters of comedy today.
