This loving tribute to Gene Wilder celebrates his life and legacy as the comic genius behind an extraordinary string of film roles, from his first collaboration with Mel Brooks in 'The Producers', to the enigmatic title role in the original 'Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory', to his inspired on-screen partnership with Richard Pryor in movies like 'Silver Streak'.

This was a great plane watch because it basically a highlight reel of all the great Gene Wilder performances. I didn’t know many of his movies outside of Willy Wonka and the Mel Brooks ones, but this gave me many great recommendations. Can’t wait to check out the movies he did with Richard Prior.
