In this outrageous homage to Hitchcock thrillers, Mel Brooks plays renowned Harvard psychiatrist Dr. Richard Thorndyke, a nut-job with a paralyzing fear of heights, who's just become head of the Psycho-Neurotic Institute for the Very Very Nervous. After the jittery doc leans that his predecessor died under suspicious circumstances, he looks for help form his resentful associate (Harvey Korman) and his evil head nurse (Cloris Leachman) - who, not surprisingly, offer no help. To make matters worse, events take a murderous turn, and Thorndyke is accused of the crime.

    Ein Selleriefilm

  • auch unter der Dusche

    Der Hotelpage bringt dem Herr Professor die Zeitung und sticht auf ihn ein wie mit einem Messer. Der gleiche Soundtrack, wie bei "Psycho" von Alfred Hitchcock. Die Zeitungsschwärze färbt sich unter dem fliessenden Wasser genauso ab, wie das Blut bei Psycho und selbst die Duschvorhangstange reisst er runter. Trotzdem gut kopiert.

    Alles einbisschen übertrieben. Absolut unrealistisch. Mit der Zeit sogar langweilig.
    Mel Brooks hat schon bessere Filme gemacht.

  • Alfred Hitchcock!!!

    Written on 23. December 2003 by Red Line.

    This customer review refers to a alternative version.

    Dieser Film ist dem "Meister der Spannung"/Alfred Hitchcock gewidmet. Folglich bringt Mel klassische Szenen in den Film rein. Zum Beispiel "The Birds": Man kann sich ja vorstellen was Vögel in einem Mel Brooks Film machen. Der Film ist gut gelungen. Aber lange nicht der Beste Mel Brooks Film!
