“Young Frankenstein” is a comedy, written by Mel Brooks and Gene Wilder, based on characters from the novel “Frankenstein” by Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley and Directed by Mel Brooks.
A young neurosurgeon, Dr. Frederick
Frankenstein (Gene Wilder) inherits the castle of his grandfather, the famous
Dr. Victor von Frankenstein.
He has always tried to distance himself from
his crazy grandfather and his insane obsession with reanimation, but he
nonetheless leaves his fiancé Elizabeth (Madeline Kahn) and travels to
Transylvania.
When he reaches the castle he finds a funny
hunchback called Igor (Marty Feldman), a pretty lab assistant named Inga (Teri
Garr) and the old housekeeper, Frau Blücher (Cloris Leachman).
Young Frankenstein also discovers the book
where the mad doctor described his reanimation experiments, and he suddenly
changes his mind about his grandfather and creates a monster (Peter Boyle).
A brilliant film, with Mel Books and Gene
Wilder at their very best, shot in monochrome to capture the atmosphere of the
classics of the horror genre, and with fine cameos from Kenneth Mars as
Inspector Kemp, Richard Haydn as Herr Falkstein and Gene Hackman as the blind
Hermit.
