Young Frankenstein (PG)
Gene Wilder, Peter Boyle, Marty Feldman, Madeline Kahn, Teri Garr; Directed by Mel Brooks
1 hour, 46 minutes; 1974
Mel Brooks' masterpiece horror comic spoof of all the Frankenstein flicks of the Thirties expertly capturing the set design and overall look of those timeless films. Wilder is the manic grandson of Baron von Frankenstein ("that's pronounced Frahnkensteen!) who goes back to merry ole Transylvania and follows in his family's footsteps ("vootshteps! vootshteps!") and creates a comic creation with Boyle as the chrome-domed, zippernecked monster who can do a mean song and dance of "Puttin' On The Ritz"! Hilarious sight gags and puns aplenty.
