An affectionate homage more than a spoof of Alfred Hitchcock thrillers, Mel Brooks's hilarious movie is one of the funniest modern comedies around. Brooks plays a psychiatrist with a severe fear of heights who moves to the Bay Area to take over a psychiatric hospital after its former head mysteriously disappears. He must contend with the resident psychiatrist Harvey Korman and the twisted resident nurse Cloris Leachman as they plot against him, eventually framing him for murder. While on the run, Brooks teams up with the alluring daughter Madeline Kahn of the missing doctor to solve the mystery and confront his own fears. Containing some classic sequences and cowritten by Barry Levinson Rain Man, Wag the Dog, who appears briefly as a too-touchy bellhop in a Psycho-shower-scene takeoff, High Anxiety is a thoroughly enjoyable romp from one of the masters of comedy today. --Robert Lane
