Review of Young Frankenstein (1974) by Wiebke K — 08 Nov 2011
Awesome spoof!! The fog, the lab, the cinematography all honor the classics. The sexual innuendo, name play, and Puttin' on the Ritz are hilarious.
Recently played a very fun audience participation game with friends when watching this movie for my birthday. The DVD has some interesting special features as well. Madeline Kahn's Bride of Frankenstein hair and Gene Hackman's hermit come from The Bride of Frankenstein. However more of the inspiration (Igor, the music calming the monster, Inspector Kemp's wooden arm, the dart match, and the next generation Frankenstein returning to repeat the original's experiments) seems to come from the third film in the Universal franchise, Son of Frankenstein. There are so many hysterical comic bits in this film. It is a winner all the way.
