He was a dynamo in most of his work.
Not to take away from Wonka, Bloom, and The Waco Kid, but Dr. Frederick Frankenstein is I think his greatest role and performance.
"Sedagive!?"
"This is a good boy."
"It! Could! Work!"
"Give my creation LIIIIFE!"

Can't pick his best performance because they were all exceptional.

I think it is one of the great performances in any comedy ever and worthy of an Oscar nomination for Best Actor.

I think his greatest role and performance.
I believe he claimed it as such, himself. It ticks all the boxes for classic Wilder.

Silver Streak, the first Wilder/Pryor pairing, is a good action/comedy. I think it not all that well-known.

Love Gene Wilder in everything he's in. Such a gifted actor, there's no one like him.
My favorite of his performances is George Caldwell from Silver Streak. Very underrated. He does sort of a comedic Cary Grant, and does it to perfection.

The Producers remains my favorite comedy ever.
I've been having a Gene Wilder Marathon over the weekend and I'm surprised at how much is funnier than I remembered.

Yes,it was. Blazing Saddles was another great comedy, but actually as the Waco Kid, that was his most subdued role.
