Mel Brooks: A Legend's Life in Two Parts

A Century of Laughter

Mel Brooks, the comedy legend, is about to hit the big 100. He has been talking about his life and work for almost 80 years. So, when Judd Apatow, a friend and filmmaker, asked him to do a documentary, Brooks was not so sure. He wondered why he should spend his time on this.

Apatow had a good reason. He told Brooks that making the documentary would mean they could spend more time together. In the end, Brooks agreed. The result is a two-part, nearly four-hour documentary called "Mel Brooks: The 99-Year-Old Man!". It is a loving look at Brooks' life and career.
