Does Movie Director Mel Brooks Resemble Fred Ward & Barbra Streisand? Big Business (1988)
Spaceballs (1987) movie director Mel Brooks may resemble actor Fred Ward & singer Barbra Streisand. The connection may come through 1988 comedy, Big Business. Ward had a part in this with Lily Tomlin and Bette Midler but the script was originally written with Streisand in mind.
Connections: What's Up, Doc? (1972) - actors Liam Dunn (Young Frankenstein (1974)), Madeline Kahn (Blazing Saddles (1974)), John Hillerman (Blazing Saddles (1974)) and Kenneth Mars (The Producers (1967)) also appeared in the comedies of Mel Brooks.
Alternatively, I thought Mel Brooks may resemble Barbra Streisand and Gene Hackman of All Night Long (1981). Hackman had a part in Young Frankenstein.
I also thought Brooks may resemble The Fly (1958) actor Vincent Price & Charles Bronson of Master Of The World (1961). Brooks was a producer on the movie remake of The Fly in 1986. Price and Brooks appeared together on a 1972 episode of The Hollywood Squares. Price also was in the cast of a 1969 episode of the Get Smart TV series, for which Brooks was a writer.
