series The Vertigo Effect
Directed by Mel Brooks | 1977
With Mel Brooks, Madeline Kahn, Cloris Leachman
Mel Brooks sends up every Hitchcockian trick in the book in this manic satire in which he stars as an acrophobic psychiatrist who discovers sinister goings-on at the Institute for the Very, Very Nervous. Not only does Brooks riff gleefully on iconic scenes from North by Northwest, The Birds, Spellbound, Vertigo, and more, but he also nails the look and feel of Hitchcock’s work, right down to the use of music and dolly shots.
