  • Copyrighted Material
    c01.qxd 12/18/06 1:10 PM Page 5 1 Out of the Ashes of Despair The difference [between a director and an auteur] is that a director who is working for a living simply does the job, which may not be akin to his philosophy, but it is not inconsistent to have the same man being both. The word is “hunger.” If you are hungry and nobody will buy your orig- inal idea, you might get lucky, direct a Kellogg’s cornflakes commercial and take home a few boxes. —Mel Brooks, 1971 n the early 1970s, Mel Brooks had reason to find himself in an ironic I position as far as his career was concerned. He had already won Acad- emy Awards and Emmys, and had hit radio commercials and three suc- cessful comedy albums (such as The 2000 Year Old Man). He was a veteran of the writing teams for two of the most cherished series of Amer- ican television’s golden age: Your Show of Shows and Caesar’s Hour. Brooks’s recent association with the highly successful sitcom Get Smart had enhanced his visibility with the public and given him additional industry credibility.COPYRIGHTED Although his movie TheMATERIAL Twelve Chairs (1970) had failed to make any tangible impact at the box office, The Producers (1968) was well on its way to becoming a cult favorite. Yet Brooks was now unable to get any new show business projects off the ground and into production. How many times, he must have won- dered, did he have to crash through the establishment’s barriers before he gained solid acceptance from his peers and the public? How long could he continue to subject himself to the ordeal of starting over—yet again? 5 c01.qxd 12/18/06 1:10 PM Page 6 6 IT’S GOOD TO BE THE KING For a time, Mel wanted to produce a film version of She Stoops to Conquer.

    ThroughMissouri Soviet Eyes BY ILYA ILF AND YEVGENY PETROV 48 | The Confluence | Spring/Summer 2012 Good travel writing can be powerful. Few things offer new insights quite like having familiar surroundings seen through fresh eyes. When that new perspective comes from a very different cultural context, the results can be even more startling. Such is the case with Soviet satirists Evgeny Ilf (1897-1937) and Yevgeny Petrov (1903- 1942), who were immensely popular writers in the Soviet Union in the late 1920s and 1930s. While working as special correspondents for Pravda (the Communist Party newspaper in the USSR) in 1935, the two came to the United States to embark on a two-month road trip across the country and back. They bought a Ford in New York in late October, teamed up with Solomon Trone (a retired engineer who had worked in the USSR for General Electric) Ilf and Petrov made this journey along national highways and his wife, Florence, whom they met there, and drove and state routes, which traveled through small towns to California and back.
