Add a Comment"Blucher" (as in Frau Blucher) is actually German for "glue", thus the horses' reaction.
Great family movie in black and white from the great film producer and actor Mel Brooks.
My kids love this movie, good family fun. Beware some minor sexual references and double entendres, but young kids won't get it, and older kids will laugh heartly once they get it. So no harm done, just laughs.
my family which includes two younger kids, love this movie. We have watched it several times.
