Review of Young Frankenstein (1974) by Mr Movie R — 29 Jan 2016
Gene Wilder's greatest achievement (along with Willy Wonka). I suspect that he spent the rest of his career chasing this level of success. The movie plot is executed flawlessly and has a steady flow of laughs from beginning to end.
However, it's Peter Boyle who steals the show here. The film has several classic lines and gags. This spoof on the original Frankenstein was the model for following films such as Airplane!, Scary Movie, etc.
Arguable Mel Brooks' finest works.
