レビュー
Parish, author of many books including Katharine Hepburn: The Untold Story and Fiasco: A History of Hollywood's Iconic Flaps), here traces the life and career of mirthmaker Mel Brooks from the Borscht Belt to Broadway. Born Melvin Kaminsky, he grew up as a Brooklyn classroom clown, honing his stage skills in the Catskills before arriving in WWII France as an army combat engineer. The bombastic Brooks clawed his way into early television as a writer for Sid Caesar: "I was aggressive. I was a terrier, a pit bull terrier. I was unstoppable. I would keep going until my joke or my sketch was in the show." Caesar's shows were a launchpad, catapulting Brooks into a multifaceted comedy career that embraced theater (Shinbone Alley) and sitcoms (Get Smart), recordings (the 2000 Year Old Man series) and acting (Mad About You). He began directing in 1968 with The Producers, followed by the equally hilarious Blazing Saddles and Young Frankenstein. Along the way, he picked up Emmys, Tonys, a Grammy, an Oscar and Anne Bancroft, whom he married in 1964. Brooks's probing self-insights and clever quotes abound. While his sense of timing, delivery and charming goofiness may not always translate to the written page, readers will be satisfied with the details unearthed by Parish's exhaustive research. 16 b&w photos. (Mar.) (Publishers Weekly, January 1, 2007)

Pretty quick read for me about one of my favorite actors, writers, directors, etc. He is an amazing talent. Nice to peak behind the curtain and read about how he got to the places we see and know.

If some omnipotent being popped into existence in front of you right now and offered you the great gift of dinner and long conversation with any five people, living or dead, who would you invite? Would you be excited by listening to Aristotle swap philosophical insights with Thomas Jefferson, or listen humbly to Buddha discuss religion with Jesus Christ? So many choices to be made and everybody's list would be different! My personal list includes the subject of this book, Mel Brooks. He's a mass of contradictions: not very well educated but brilliant, short and not the handsomest man in the world, but attracted and stayed married to Anne Bancroft who was one of the most beautiful stars in the acting scene, seemingly open and talkative but really a very private man. During that dream dinner I wouldn't eat. I wouldn't even talk. I'd sit in a corner with my chin resting on my hand and just listen as hard as I could, hoping not to miss a word. This man's head is full of genius, watching people, studying gestures, making connections, and this book shows that.
When I read a book about a real person I want to know about the life of that person, what made him /her what they are, what he did and, if he's still around, what he's doing now.
This book starts in the 70s , which I didn't like, but it did get around to telling me about Mel Brooks's early life...finally. The author spent the first chapter psychoanalyzing the man. I thought he was an author, but James Robert Parish thought he was a psychologist. "Because Mel was short of stature he always felt compelled to make 'loud noises' ...so that he would be a focus of attention--whether in his career or in his private life."
"How can a man greatly admire Dostoyevsky and Tolstoy and still delight in making a campfire farting scene the highlight of one of his classic movies, 1974's Blazing Saddles?"
He does rein in this tendency after the first few chapters, but I found it annoying. Once the author gets going with his story he hit his stride and gave me what I craved--details about the brilliant Mel Brooks. He did this well, and I quickly lost my annoyance with the psychological bent of the beginning. Mr. Parish must have been exhausted after he did the research for this book because he sure knew everything there was to say about Mel Brooks.
If you are interested in the life of a great comic genius, read this book. Don't quit at the beginning when it sounds like Mel Brooks is sitting on the counselor's couch. Once you're past the first part it eases off. ( But, Mr. Parish, as a former English teacher, let me ask you to be more careful with the connotations of your adverbs and adjectives.) You're left with the life of a man who has a head full of funny and always tries his best. It's well researched, well written, and entirely fascinating.
