An Audience with Mel Brooks (1983)
*** (out of 4)
This television special has Mel Brooks in front of a British audience as he tries to promote his new movie TO BE OR NOT TO BE. Brooks takes some "staged" questions from the audience, which includes him answering about his entrance into show business, his wife and even one about his mother's reaction to BLAZING SADDLES. If you're a fan of Brooks then you'll certainly want to check this out as it has his typical humor, which of course means a lot of jokes about Jewish people and he even gets in a couple British jokes. There are a number of cameos including Anne Bancroft, Jonathan Pryce, Helen Mirren and Ronny Graham. The highlight would have to be Brooks' response to his opinion on those who thinks he deals in bad taste.
