And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
My uncle who was shot down over Germany during the big one, was in a movie theater in New Jersey when this movie came out. There was a scene where Young Dr. F. is at the train station and he yells out "Pardon me boy is the Transylvania Station?" and a boy yells out from the platform "Yeah, Track 29!". The audience was dead silent but my uncle remarked later that he must have been the oldest one in the theater and was the only one who got the joke line.
Mel Brooks was a WWII vet as well, European theater.
