Mel Brooks' Unflinching Legacy: A Lesson in Staying Power Judd Apatow's documentary, The 99 Year Old Man! , is a tribute to Mel Brooks that also serves as an exercise in historical preservation.
By exploring the archives and unearthing long forgotten gems, Apatow and his co director Michael Bonfiglio have crafted a four hour retrospective that celebrates Brooks' remarkable career while shedding new light on the man behind the legend.
The sheer volume of material at their disposal was daunting. With Brooks approaching 100 years old, there's no shortage of footage to sift through.
