Wilder excellent in this movie


Just have to say that Gene Wilder is absolutely delightful and loveable in this movie and very believable in the role. Although Ford is not likeable or believable, the film is worth seeing because of Wilder's performance.

An extremely gifted and versatile actor. Many of his best-known roles are characters who are very different from each other - Willy Wonka, Avram, Victor Fronkensteen, The Waco Kid, Leo Bloom - and he makes them all believable, even if some of them are extremely weird and/or silly.

I wish Mel Brooks had found a part for him in 'Spaceballs.'
