Vintage original 27x41 in. US one-sheet poster from the classic 1970's comedy spoof, HIGH ANXIETY, released in 1977 by 20th Century-Fox and directed by Mel Brooks. In this hilatious parody of the classic suspense films directed by Alfred Hitchcock, Mel Brooks stars as a psychiatrist with intense acrophobia (fear of heights), who goes to work for a mental institution run by doctors who appear to be crazier than their patients and have secrets that they are willing to commit murder to keep. The image of Mel Brooks falling into a time tunnel has become a very recognizable movie poster image from the 1970's. Unrestored and folded as originally issued, this vintage original one-sheet is in very fine condition without any pinholes, tears, stains, or other flaws and just a few light signs of wear along portions of the edges. This tribute to Alfred Hitchcock contains references to more than 10 of his films. Mel Brooks held a private preview of the movie for Hitchcock to see his reaction. When Hitchcock walked out at the movie's end without saying a word, Brooks feared that Hitchcock hated the movie. But days later, Hitchcock sent a congratulatory case of wine to Brooks, knowing that Brooks was a wine connoisseur, and declared the film "Splendid! I wish I had done it." During a special preview screening, Hitchcock's only criticism of the film to Brooks was that in the shower scene, when the shower curtain is torn off the rail, they used 13 shower curtain rings, whereas in Psycho (1960), they only used 10. Brooks once said of Alfred Hitchcock: "(a)nyone who has ever rolled a foot of film owes something to this man."
