Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT The Remembering Gene Wilder documentary was an insightful look at an extraordinary actor's life in front of and away from the camera that revealed many details viewers might not have been aware of. Wilder’s incredible career was cataloged, and the documentary featured several appearances from those he was closest to, had worked with, and who admired him.
9 Zero Mostel Had Final Say For Wilder In The Producers Gene Wilder had to audition for the part The biggest break in Gene Wilder’s earlier career came when he secured a lead role in the Mel Brooks comedy The Producers back when it was titled Springtime for Hitler. However, Remembering Gene Wilder revealed that this was almost not the case, as Wilder’s co-star Zero Mostel had the final say on who would eventually play Leopold Bloom in The Producers.
7 Willy Wonka’s Wobbly Walk Gene Wilder added to Wonka’s character The part of Willy Wonka in Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory will forever be associated with Gene Wilder, and each subsequent performance of the role, such as Johnny Depp and Timothée Chalamet’s portrayals, will always be compared to his. Wilder truly embodied the role of Wonka, imbued him with his unique eccentricities, and effectively added to his characterizations.
5 Mel Brooks Didn’t Want The Dancing Scene In Young Frankenstein Gene Wilder insisted the sequence be included One of the most memorable scenes in Young Frankenstein was when Dr. Frankenstein showcased his monster’s abilities by teaching it the complex choreography of “Puttin' On the Ritz.” This performance by Gene Wilder and Peter Boyd was truly iconic and was even ranked 84th in the American Film Institute's 2004 list, 100 Years...100 Songs.
3 Gene Wilder and Richard Pryor Were Not Close Friends Gene Wilder did not socialize with his famous co-star The pairing of Gene Wilder and Richard Pryor was pure comedic gold, and the duo made several acclaimed films together over the years. However, Remembering Gene Wilder revealed that their fantastic working relationship did not extend to being close friends in real life.
