[@fear5735]

Fun fact: During production for the film, retired longtime film star Hedy Lamarr sued Warner Bros. for $100,000, charging that the film's running parody of her name infringed on her right to privacy. Brooks said that he was flattered and chose to not fight it in court; the studio settled out of court for a small sum and an apology for "almost using her name." Brooks said that Lamarr "never got the joke." This lawsuit would be referenced by an in-film joke where Brooks' character, the Governor, tells Hedley Lamarr that "This is 1874; you'll be able to sue HER."

I was a kid when I saw this film the first time on cable when cable was new, around 1978. I had never seen a Hedy Lamar movie but I looked her up at the public library.

I find the way Lamarr cares for his underlings oddly heartwarming. He lets them speak up when they have an idea, and genuinely considers them. He shows concern when he realizes they've been injured, and expedites the execution of the one that caused it. And he comforts him when he's startled.
