Original Polish Poster (26×37) for the Mel Brooks comedy, HIGH ANXIETY (1977) starring Mel Brooks, Madeline Kahn, Cloris Leachman, Harvey Korman, Dick Van Patten, Charlie Callas and Jack Riley. Director Brooks plays Dr. Richard Thorndyke, psychologist and chief of staff of the “Psychoneurotic Institute for the Very, VERY Nervous.” A bizarre, suspenseful and wildly comic plot ensues parodying the great Alfred Hitchcock, San Francisco-centric films from THE BIRDS to VERTIGO. The design for this Polish poster features a fittingly silly silhouette of Brooks as he comically squats and hunts his prey — a murderous fiend. Art on this poster is by Jakub Erol. Very Fine.
