Remembering Gene Wilder looks at the comic actor’s films, including interviews with Mel Brooks, Alan Alda and Harry Connick, Jr. It played Richmond as part of the Weinstein JCC’s Israeli & Jewish Film Festival last January. Since it just dropped on Netflix, I’m “remembering” my interview with Ron Frank (billed as the director) & Glenn Kirschbaum (writer). Topics include:

– Mel Brooks and his great stories

– Why Harry Connick. Jr.?

– Using Wilder’s own voiceover

– Finding hilarious outtakes from Young Frankenstein

– The Alzheimer’s connection
