Determined to live down his family's reputation, Dr. Frederick Frankenstein (co-screenwriter Gene Wilder) insists on pronouncing his name "Fronckensteen" and denies interest in replicating his grandfather's experiments. But when he is lured b Review: Best Mel Brooks comedy film. - If you love comedy, this is a must to have in your collection. Mel Brooks and Gene Wilder wrote a terrific Frankenstein film. The stars Gene Wilder, Marty Feldman, Terri Garr and Cloris Leachman played perfect parts. Peter Boyle was great as the monster. Great writing and acting. The film with an all star cast worked together as a well oiled machine. Filmed in black and white have a great effect of the original film. Comical from the beginning to the end. Review: A comedy standard... - Mel Brooks has worked on a lot of films. He has many films that are in many people's top comedy list but Young Frankenstein is not only a great comedy film but a great film. You know a film is great when people use it as a standard. This film and maybe one or two more is what I judge most other comedies by. I don't think there is a person that I know in my circle of friends, family and co-workers that don't know at least a few lines of this film by heart. There is a funny story to how I saw this film for the first time. I was too young to see it in the cinema when it came out so I had to wait until it came on cable back in the early 80's. Now I had no idea that this film even existed before I saw it the first time. I had an uncle in another room who asked me to come in and watch the film. He said, its a really good horror film. So at the age of 12 when I sat down to watch it I was expecting something along the lines of the 40's Universal monster films. When it started, since it was in black and white and seemed serious with the score and overall feel I had no reason to think otherwise. About ten minutes into the film I was thinking this seems kind of silly for a horror film. But as I asked my uncle who was sitting behind me if this really was a serious film he nodded in the affirmative. So the film goes on. At this point in the film Frankenstein was using the poor patient as a Guinea pig and when he kicked the guy in his "twig and berries" I finally had had enough and turned around to my uncle who was nearly passing out and beet red in his face from from trying to not laugh at loud at both the film and my obvious bewilderment in it. Needless to say I watched the rest of the film knowing it was a comedy. And good lord what a film! I think if I had to name my favourite comedy of all time this would be on the short list and as I said above, I know many people who have it as not just their number one comedy but favourite film if all time. Being a farce of the Universal Frankenstein I won't bother putting in a plot summary but if you have never seen this film, you will LOVE it. I don't know if I know of another film that is so universally loved. One point, even though this film is a farce, I personally think its the best Frankenstein film since The Bride of Frankenstein. I don't know if that is a reflection of how good this film is or how bad the more recent Frankensteins are. I am writing this review because I recently purchased it on Blu-ray. As on most Blu-rays it has a wonderful picture. I am not sure its that much better than a DVD but as the cost is about the same now, treat yourself to the Blu-ray. Anyway, enough of my gushing, enjoy! ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Contributor | Arthur Malet, Cloris Leachman, Danny Goldman, Gene Hackman, Gene Wilder, Kenneth Mars, Leon Askin, Liam Dunn, Lou Cutell, Madeline Kahn, Marty Feldman, Mel Brooks, Michael Gruskoff, Peter Boyle, Richard A.
