Very funny Brooks version of a classic. some excellent casting too...Chris Lloyd, Charles Durning, George Wyner, George Gaynes etc..all the Brooks regs almost. Its quite touching too, but ultimately very funny, especially Lloyd n Durning as nazi soldiers :)

Lighthearted remake of the classic Benny/Lombard film. Mel Brooks and Anne Bancroft seem to be having lots of fun while handling the serious moments well. The supporting cast couldn't be better. A winner.
