Summary: Great trick and treat
Review: This is one of the best movies to watch. And at Halloween it is particularly appropriate. Any fan of older classic horror movies will find this all the more funny. A great spoof of several horror movies but especially the classic Frankenstein movies.Gene Wilder, Marty Feldman, Peter Boyle, Madeline Kahn and the rest the cast are great. The sets, sound, music, and lighting do a fantastic job of recreating the brooding black and white images of the original. Mel Brooks does a great job of keeping this three ring circus of comedians on the focus of the movie.Any fans of horror or comedy will like this movie. Mel Brooks fans will defintely love it. The DVD sound and picture is good. The fact that the movie is black and white was done on purpose and actually adds to the illusion of being like the original. The price is a bargain and this is one of Mel Brooks greatest works. His commentary, accessed through language, not extras, is illuminating. The making of documentary is great as well. Don't pass up this classic comedy by some of the best comedians.

Summary: Young Frankenstein
Review: This is an absolutely mind-blowing, hilarious piece of work. Gene Wilder is excellent as the "young" Dr. Frankenstein. I liked
everyone else, and Peter Boyle (who is Frank on Everybody Loves Raymond) was very funny. Teri Garr was good, especially when we first see her 'rolling in the hay.' Young Frankenstein is one of my favourite comedies. Not only a favourite comedy, but one of my favourite movies. A great experience!

Summary: one of Mel Brooks' best
Review: of course, Mel Brookss young Frankenstien is a classic and is very very funny. Gene Wilder is great and so is Martin Feldman as Igor, but its that damn Gene Hackman cameo as the blindman which is the funniest sceen in the movie. Nicely shot in black and white. I cant imagine though Peter Boyle (the monster) as being really hung, I know its a movie but why Peter Boyle huh. Anyway, its a great Mel Brooks film next to Blazing Saddles and SpaceBalls. Gotta love that Igor

Summary: IT'S ALIVE... with COMEDY!
Review: I watched this movie with my Dad about 2 weeks ago. I give it 4 stars because while yes, it is funny, I was expecting just a tiny bit more after seeing The Producers. Don't get me wrong, this is a comedy masterpiece in it's own right. Mel Brooks alumnus Gene Wilder brilliantly showcases his comedic genius with a flat out amazing cast to back him up. I paticularly enjoyed the return of another Mel Brooks alumnus, Kenneth Mars. Having seen him not long before as Franz Leibkind in The Producers made his Inspector General even funnier to watch (the dart scene was one of my favorite scenes!). Igore and Inga gave the film delightful comedic relief. Freddy's interaction with the Creature, played by Peter Boyle made each scene they have together come alive with hilarity. The ending is histericaly perfect. However, I felt that some of the adult content wasen't necessary even if it was funny. (I personally think that the minimal innuendo was what made The Producers so funny.) So, if you don't mind a little crassness, put on the ritz and put this movie in your video or dvd player!

Summary: Special Features: Deleted Scenes and Outtakes.
Review: In order to fully understand this motion picture, Young Frankenstein (1974) one would have had to have seen the original horror film "Frankenstein" (1931). Frankenstein is considered film literature. It was required watching in school, just like "Great Expectation" is required reading. All movie buffs know of Frankenstein (played by Boris Karloff in 1931) and trivia questions and jokes are made of it. Now, this film, Young Frankenstein is of the genius writing by Gene Wilder and Mel Brooks. Produced by Michael Groskoff. Directed by Mel Brooks. Released by 20th Century Fox in December 1974. This fine film is a spoof of the Frankenstein films. It is a comedy, you may laugh at it all that you want to. It was made for laughter. The excellent cast: Gene Wilder, Peter Boyle, Marty Feldman, Cloris Leachman, Teri Garr and the lovely Madeline Kahn. Gene Hackman plays the blind man. I wish Gene Wilder could have been nominated for an Academy Award for Outstanding Actor, but him and Mel Brooks were nominated for Outstanding Screenplay. The film was also nominated for Best Sound. 1974 was a tough year for Oscar. So many wonderful films were shown. In the special features, there is 16 minutes of deleted scenes and 5 minutes of outtakes. There are mexican interviews with Marty Feldman, Gene Wilder and Chris Leachman. A 36-minute documentary "Making Frankensense of Young Frankenstein". By the way, there is an in-joke for you if you click on "Television Spots"

Summary: You VILL enjoy ziss film!
Review: It is a credit to director Mel Brooks and to Gene Wilder, co-author of the screenplay, that this film has lost none of his comic impact since it was first released almost 30 years ago. Seeing it and The Producers (1968) again recently, I was reminded of the fact that Brooks' best comedies are those in which he does not appear. Also, I was again impressed by Brooks's respectful treatment of the original material (i.e. Mary Wollstonecraft's novel), more so than any of the earlier film versions, notably one starring Boris Karloff as The Monster. What else to say? The ensemble cast of Books regulars (Boyle, Kahn, Leachman, Mars, and Wilder) are all outstanding. They are joined by Marty Feldman, Terri Garr, and a surprisingly effective Gene Hackman as the Blind Hermit. In only a few other films has Hackman's gift for comedy been utilized. The ones I recall are three of the Superman films, Get Shorty (1995), and The Birdcage (1996): to a lesser extent in Unforgiven (1992) and The Royal Tenenbaums (2001). Nonetheless, the irrepressible Brooks could not resist the temptation to add some special seasoning of his own such as, for example, the schtick involving the word Blucher. (Frau Blucher finally admits that the late Henry Frankenstein was her "boyfriend"). As Brooks well knew, Gebhard von Blucher was a Prussian field marshal during the Napoleonic wars, infamous for his abuse of horses. (Following retirement from military service, his mental health was questioned when he claimed that he was pregnant with an elephant after being raped by a French grenadier. Such a claim could indeed raise questions.) Igor's shifting hump is also vintage Brooks as are the scenes when Frederick von Frankenstein (Fronk-un-STEEN!) bids farewell to Elizabeth (Kahn) before his train departs and then later when Inga (Garr) is happily "rolling, rolling, rolling in the hay" wagon. However, Brooks never allows such zaniness to overcome (obliterate?) the flow of the narrative as is sometimes the case in his other comedies. Although it may be difficult to believe, there is great dignity in this film which never serves as a target for ridicule. (That is what I meant earlier when suggesting that Brooks and Wilder are respectful of the original.) Even the slapstick (slapschtick?) such as it is helps to advance the plot. For these and other reasons, this is my favorite Brooks comedy.

Summary: Not In German
Review: I did a search for movies in German and this one came up. Folks, it is Not in German. There are a few parts in which the German language is used, but the whole movie is not in German, even though it is listed as a German-speaking movie. I love the movie still, so so funny...
