There is a documentary on Netflix called “Remembering Gene Wilder.”

It’s a great film on Gene and a lot of commentary on his lifelong friendship with Mel.

Gene was crucial to the success of the two films. IIRC, Gene wrote much of the script for "Young Frankenstein". And saved Mel when in a crunch for "Blazing Saddles"..Mel's cast lead actor bailed out on him. Looked that up on the Wiki, and I was right.

I just watched that and agree with you, it was great.

I called the movie theater and asked if they would be showing the original version, or the politically correct one. The manager didn't know but thought it'll be the original.
