 Young Frankenstein review 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 fiancée (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. ...See Full Description

| Adult comedy at its best.
Funny spoof on a classic. Great comedy stars bring a horror classic to those of us who 'don't do horror movies'. Gene Wilder plays the lead and Marty Feldman as his side-kick Igor bring the monster to life. The 'monster', played by Peter Boyle, is given a true human quality in the fear of fire (who doesn't have a fear of something?). The community fears him and then rallies around him to give him a chance when they finally understand him. A lesson we could all learn about acceptance. A true classic in its own right.

| Solid and Superb
One of Mel Brooks' very best because he stayed on the subject-matter. Lots of satire and in-jokes,especially familiar to those who know the old Frankenstein movies. All the stars are absolutely outstanding and it's impossible to give any particular one lots of huzzahs! And wait'll you see who plays the Blind Man! One of those few comedies where you'll burst out laughing in your own living room.
