About this product
Product Information
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 cinematic tour de force. Written by director Mel Brooks and the star of the film, 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), his spoiled fiancee, Igor the pop-eyed hunchback, his dizzy assistant, the castle's hideous head housekeeper, and, of course, the Monster. And then there are the sets 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. 'Young Frankenstein' is a treat from beginning to end.Product Identifiers

Young Frankensten: a Classic Film for Monster Film Fans
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.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

What hump?
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.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Spot-on homage full of laughs
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.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Young Frankenstein Film
Hadn't seen this for years and had forgotten how funny it is! Marty Feldman & Madeline Khan's character's are a joy to watch and very funny - as is everyone else. Very informative "Background Info Film" is a major plus - includes interviews with Gene Wilder on the making of the film and his pleasure of working with Mel Brooks. Very highly Recommended!!Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

bostin film, my ribs ache from laughing, an all time favorite
this is THE film I watch when I need a pick me up, shot as a 1930's classic horror film its brilliantly funny with plenty of puns and humour that will have you grinning from ear to ear. Gean Wilder is brilliantyl OTT as Doctor Frankenstein, and Marty Feldman is wonderful as Igor. by far the best Mel Brooks directed film. the DVD came well packed and in first class condition, realy cheap as wellVerified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

It really doesn't get any better than this!!!
Would've been a six-star, but the review only goes up to 5. Sadly, sadly missed, the late, great Gene Wilder stars in this magnificent comedy version of Frankenstein. One that I simply had to add to my collection after hearing of the great man's passing. If there's a funnier film, and it's not Blazing Saddles (another one of his starring roles, co-star this time), then I don't wanna know!! So many quotable lines, from 'Blucher!' to 'Sedagive???'. You'll be squeezing your 'Schwanzstuker' with laughter. A couple of slightly smutty scenes, but otherwise good, clean humour which never dates. If you haven't already bought, watched and memorised this film, please do so. It will change your life for the better.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New
