The film, "Young Frankenstein," is one of the all time classic comedy films, as it is a send-up of the various 1930's monster films, by the fantastic director, Mel Brooks. Based upon the original Frankenstein film genre, Gene Wilder plays the insane scientist, with Marty Feldman as his assistant, Igor (pronounced here as "Eye-gor"). Chaos ensues when the fairly normal Professor Frankenstein return to his ancestral home to find his grandfather's notes and library have remained for him to peruse, and in the process, convince him that he must carry on the work. With supporting performances of Terri Garr, Cloris Leachman, Madeline Kahn, Gene Hackman, and Kenneth Mars, Brooks has paid a beautiful and insanely funny homage to the great monster films of the 20th century.

Perhaps one Gene Wilders best movies. Certainly one of Mel Brooks finest directing attributes. Laugh a minute. I believe they used the original Frankenstein set pieces too! Brilliant.

Comedy is just about as subjective as it gets, but I am not alone in finding this a very very funny film. Over the years Mel Brooks has given us some extremely good comedies (as well as the odd turkey). This is one of his best & made with a genuine love of the 1930s Universal movies that inspired it. Technically a beautiful homage as well as heavily loaded with laughs. Marvellous.
