High Anxiety

Hello Moviemainers,   

Well this is March and it's been ten years since we started MovieMainers with the help of the editor (aka Carl), the man that makes me look good.  We manage to pull this together and I really love hearing from the members about the films and just getting together to discuss them.

This month was tough as there is so much going on in the world that is frightening, so here's a film where we can escape for just a little while.  I really felt the need to do a comedy as I really need a good laugh especially now.

The film for the month of March is 1977 High Anxiety.  This is a Mel Brooks film and like other Mel Brooks films it's a parody, this time of Hitchcock films.  Alfred Hitchcock consulted on the screenplay with Mel.  In one funny scene, instead of the institute for the insane it is called the institute for the very very nervous.  Alfred sent Mel 6 bottles of Chateau Haut Brion and said here is a little token of my pleasure, have no anxiety about this.  Love it.

Let me know if you are interested in hosting a movie night.  

Enjoy, 
Your movie diva Movielynne
