Details HIGH ANXIETY (Mel Brooks, 1977, 16mm, 93 mins)
Dr. Richard Thorndyke (Brooks) is hired as the new head of the Psycho-Neurotic Institute for the Very, Very Nervous, where he begins to suspect foul play in another doctor’s recent demise. Can he overcome his paralyzing ​“high anxiety” disorder and bring sanity to the sanatorium before a killer strikes again? Brooks regulars Madeline Kahn, Cloris Leachman, and Harvey Korman lend stellar support to this parody of Hitchcock’s hits. 16mm print from the Yale Film Archive.

The ​“VertiGoals” film series is devoted to Hitchcock’s VERTIGO and a selection of films it inspired.
