Oscar winner in 1964 for the screenplay The Producers, Mel Brooks is the master of parody and comedy. Frankenstein Junior released in 1974 was a worldwide success and a tribute to the cinema of his childhood. From Brooklyn to Broadway all the way to Hollywood, Mel Brooks tells us with his unflinching jewish humor about the steps that led him to become such a prolific world famous entertainer. His love of spoof movies has inspired generations of filmmakers from the Scary Movies to Austin Powers. (Terranoa)
