cast. (ORIGINAL)
BEST GENE WILDER MOVIES
“Bonnie and Clyde” (1967) Wilder made
a big splash as a hostage of the title gangsters
(Warren Beatty, Faye Dunaway).
“The Producers” (1968) As the title backers
of a stage show they wanted to fail, Wilder and
Zero Mostel helped Mel Brooks gain a foothold
in the movie world.
“Willy Wonka and the Chocolate
Factory” (1971) Wilder is a favorite of
several generations as the so-called Candy
Man.
“Everything You Always Wanted to
Know About Sex (But Were Afraid to
Ask)” (1972) That Wilder plays it so straight
as a psychiatrist who falls in love with his
newest patient – a sheep – makes his segment
of Woody Allen’s vignette-structured comedy
hilarious.
“Blazing Saddles” (1974) As a drunken
gunslinger, Wilder makes a great sidekick to
Rock Ridge’s new sheriff (Cleavon Little) in Mel
Brooks’ Western satire. It’s the first half of a
Wilder double feature Sunday, April 24, on
Turner Classic Movies.
“Young Frankenstein” (1974) Teamed
with Mel Brooks again – also as a writer in
this case – Wilder sends up a horror classic
as a descendant of the synthetic-man-creating
scientist.
“The Adventure of Sherlock Holmes’
Smarter Brother” (1975) Wilder tried
going the Mel Brooks spoofing route on his
own as writer, director and star of this detective
parody.
“Silver Streak” (1976) A terrific Wilder
plays a train passenger who finds himself
caught up in a mystery ... and in a partnership
with Richard Pryor, in their first of several
movies together. This completes TCM’s Wilder
double bill on April 24.
“The World’s Greatest Lover” (1977)
Again the writer and director here as well,
Wilder plays one of the aspiring candidates to
challenge Rudolph Valentino as a silent-screen
superstar.
“The Frisco Kid” (1979) Wilder does
excellent, seriocomic work as a rabbi in the
Old West.
“Stir Crazy” (1980) Under the direction of
Sidney Poitier, Wilder and Richard Pryor make
much mirth as wrongly sentenced convicts.
“The Woman in Red” (1984) Also playing
writer and director again, Wilder portrays a
man whose obsession with a beautiful woman
(Kelly LeBrock) proves problematic. Arguably
the film’s most enduring element is Stevie
Wonder’s hit song “I Just Called to Say I Love
You.”
