Product Description
An affectionate parody that pays homage to the Frankenstein films (from the novel Frankenstein by Mary Shelley) directed by James whale in the 1930s, young Frankenstein is both a zany comedy and a cinematic tour de force. Written by director Mel brooks and the film's star, gene wilder, young Frankenstein has all the usual--and in this case slightly unusual--suspects: the reluctant scientist Frederick Frankenstein, who is actually the grandson of the infamous creature-creator (pronounced "Fronken-steen" and played by wilder), his spoiled fiance (Madeline Kahn), Igor the pop-eyed hunchback (Marty Feldman), his dizzy assistant (Teri Garr), the castle's hideous head housekeeper (Cloris Leachman), and, of course, the monster (Peter Boyle). Highlights include the sets, which are the original ones used in the whale films; the beautiful black-and-white cinematography; and the fine screenplay. Combining noirish elegance with uproarious sight gags and double entendres is a feat Brooks pulls off fabulously, directing the wonderful ensemble to act with sensitivity and humanistic feelings as well as with lunatic abandon. Young Frankenstein is a treat from beginning to end.

Peter Callinicos (Lakewood CO.)
This is a classic fun movie. Great humor that you will need to view many times to catch all the great puns.
 works wells as a straight monster movie (3.6/5) March 3, 2010
falcon (canada)
i liked this film a lot.there were a lot of memorable lines to be
sure.i chuckled a fair amount at some of the jokes and gags.but to
me,this movie works more as a monster movie.making it in black and
white was a stroke of genius.it made it much more authentic,just like
the old monster movies of the 30's and 40's.i think it's one of the
best Frankenstein movies i've seen.Gene Wilder is in great form here,as
is Teri Gar.Marti Feldman is a riot.Peter Boyle is also great.and
Cloris Leachman puts in another brilliant performance.and we can't
forget Madeline Khan.of the first four Mel Brooks films i have just
seen,this is the best one.for me,Young Frankenstein is a 3.6/5
