 I was a big "Get Smart!" fan when I was a kid, so I do remember Hymie the Robot ("His father's name was Hymie!" Lol...)Originally posted by GUT View Post

 I was in law school at the time "When Things Were Rotten" was made into a series with Gautier and Dick Van Patten as Friar Tuck (Bernie Kopell from "Get Smart" as "Siegfried" was "Alan-a-Dale"). It was actually a clever series, with guests on it like Sid Caesar (as the ambassador from France).Originally posted by Steadmund Brand View PostAwww so sad......was actually just watching Get Smart 2 nights ago!!

 Several of Brooks later films were considered weak in comparison to most of the films he did up to "High Anxiety". I always liked his "Dracula, Dead and Loving It!" with Leslie Neilson and Harvey Korman (as "Dr. Seward", whose cure for anything is another enema. "Seward" when asked if he has a reference work about "Nosferatu" says, "Yes, we have "Nosferatu." He turns to the books, "We have "Nosferatu" today!").
 
 Gautier was also in "Bye Bye Birdie" and "Murder She Wrote". A better than average performer.
