worth a look

While some may say pass on this one, I strongly disagree. If you are a fan of Mel Brooks and Harvey Korman humor, then this is right up your alley. I know a lot of the jokes are tongue-in-cheek, but hey , this was in the era before you could just drop the F-bomb every other word, and some call that funny or great comedy. Cloris Leachman as Nurse Wilhelmina Diesel just about steals the show in her scene as a Nazi dominatrix, with Harvey Korman as her "subject". Madeline Kahn is gorgeous as Victoria Brisbane, and it is refreshing to see her character not treated as "the chick" like in Blazing Saddles. Check it out, if you don't laugh at least once, you had better check your pulse.
