	Young Frankenstein - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Young Frankenstein is a 1974 comedy film directed by Mel Brooks, starring Gene Wilder as the title character.
		Travelling to said estate in Transylvania, Frankenstein meets his comely new lab assistant Inga, along with the household servants Frau Blücher and Igor (who, after hearing Frederick claim his name is pronounced [fʀɔŋkεnstin] counter-claims that his is pronounced [ajgo:] "eye-gore").
		The scene in which Frankenstein's fiancée arrives in a carriage and is helped to the door by Igor is cut several times, unusually as the scene is relatively short and covers little physical or story grounds.

	DVD Review - Young Frankenstein (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-20)
		Frederick Frankenstein (Gene Wilder) is a descendant of the infamous Baron Victor Frankenstein, creator of artificial life in Mary Woolstonecraft-Shelley’s classic novel.
		"Young Frankenstein" is Mel Brooks’ and Gene Wilder’s homage to the classic Universal "Frankenstein" movies and filmmakers of silent horror movies like Lang, Dreyer and Murnau.
		"Young Frankenstein" is this gem in Mel Brooks’ crown, and still ranks as his best film ever.

	DVD REVIEW: YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN
		Now that "Young Frankenstein" is on DVD, it was a pleasure to catch up with an old friend.
		A quarter-of-a-century has passed, and "Young Frankenstein" is still as potent and funny.
		The back story of "Young Frankenstein" is so strong and pure that co-writers Mel Brooks and Gene Wilder can dangle the most outrageous joke on it and not look foolish.

	Classic-Horror Review of Young Frankenstein (1974)
		Boyle's performance is legendary, and the image and sound of Frankenstein's Monster in a tuxedo vocalizing his garbled version of the song's title represents one of the funniest scenes in comedy history.
		Parodying elements of Frankenstein, Bride of Frankenstein, Son of Frankenstein, and Ghost of Frankenstein, the film features Dr. Frederick Frankenstein, a teaching neurosurgeon and grandson of the legendary Victor Frankenstein.
		In fact, Young Frankenstein was shot in the same castle using the same lab equipment and props used in the 1931 original.

	.Virtual Urth - Young Frankenstein DVD Movie Reviewed By Grant Sanborn (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-20)
		Young Frankenstein is one of those movies that you run across on television, watch for while, turn the channel, go right back to and end up begging everyone with you to "Look, watch this scene, it's hilarious!" until you watched the whole thing.
		Young Frankenstein follows the bumbling exploits of the original Frankenstein's grandson (Gene Wilder) as he attempts to revive his namesake's vision of reanimation.
		Young Frankenstein is one DVD that I am more than happy to announce has been reanimated in all of its fl and white gory - I mean glory (sorry, can't help it).

	Frankenstein
		Although "Young Frankenstein" takes the appearance of a mad-cap horror movie, on many levels I think it was intended as a parody on soap operas.
		Frankenstein wants to get out of the evil experiment business, but when a mad scientist, Dr. Pretorius, kidnaps his wife, Dr. Frankenstein agrees to help him create a new creature, a woman, to be the companion of the monster.
		How: In "Bride of Frankenstein", the monster visits the hut of a blind hermit and is taught how to speak, in "Young Frankenstein" this is parodied when he visits the hut of a blind hermit only with more hilarious results.

	Young Frankenstein (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-20)
		Young Victor Frankenstein, grandson of the count who started it all, returns by rail to his ancestral home.
		Frankenstein quickly returns to Transylvania and the old ancestral castle, where he is awaited by the faithful houseboy Igor, the voluptuous lab assistant Inga, and the mysterious housekeeper Frau Blucher, whose very name causes horses to rear in fright.
		Young Frankenstein is as funny as we expect a Mel Brooks comedy to be, but it's more than that: It shows artistic growth and a more sure-handed control of the material by a director who once seemed willing to do literally anything for a laugh.

	CWoB DVD Review: "Young Frankenstein"
		Moody and menacing Castle Frankenstein, hidden in the misty hills of Transylvania and vacant since Doctor Victor von Frankenstein caused a bit of trouble a while back, is welcoming three new guests.
		They're being shown around by the castle's longtime caretaker – the crone-ish Frau Blucher, whose palpable darkness resonates on such a sub-molecular level that whenever her name is uttered anywhere on the premises, it causes horses to rear up and whinny in terror outside.
		You could cut together a trailer for "Young Frankenstein" that makes it look indelibly like a serious, dramatic addition to the "Frankenstein" mythos, and it'd still be a must-see.

		Mel Brooks' "Young Frankenstein" is not only a loving tribute to James Whale's original Frankenstein films, but a wildly entertaining spoof that still generates laughs years after its original release.
		Frederick Frankenstein (Gene Wilder) is the grandson of the notorious Victor Frankenstein.
		But look at the magnificent cinematography, recapturing the atmosphere of Frankenstein movies, the love and warmth with which scenes are recreated, even how the acting style knowingly mimics the bygone era of the classic horror film.

	THE CINEMA LASER DVD REVIEW-- YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN
		YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN is a film that lovingly recreates the atmosphere of the 1930’s Universal Frankenstein movies, while at the same time, skewering the horror genre with Marx Brothers like precision.
		Frederick is the grandson of the infamous Dr. Victor Frankenstein.
		YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN follows the basic premise of the Universal horror classics, as well as Mary Shelley’s novel.

	Young Frankenstein
		Dr Friedrich Frankenstein (Gene Wilder) is the grandson of the late Victor Frankenstein and is desperately trying to escape from the name created by his grandfather.
		Friedrich - the name is Frankenstein, as in Fron-ken-steen - has excelled as a doctor and is ranked highly as an expert in his field (being cephalic matters).
		Young Frankenstein is Mel Brooks best film and a classic homage/parody of the great horror films of the 1930s.

		Plot Outline: Dr. Frankenstein's grandson, after years of living down the family reputation, inherits granddad's castle and repeats the experiments.
		Dialog from Young Frankenstein became part of cultural banter in a good many corners of the country immediately after this movie showed up in theaters.
		Of course, as Blazing Saddles ruined most 1950's and 60's westerns for me for awhile, Young Frankenstein makes it very hard to take Karloff and all that bunch from the 1930's seriously any longer.

		It was shot in the same castle and with the same props and lab equipment as the original 1931 Frankenstein film.
		The main character, young brain surgeon and med-school professor, Dr. Frederick Frankenstein (Gene Wilder) is in denial about his heritage, and must continually and defiantly correct people about the pronunciation of his name: "That's Frahnk-en-steen".
		He spills hot soup in the creature's lap, accidentally breaks their wine glasses during a toast, and lights the monster's thumb instead of his cigar.

	THE DVD FILE: The Reviews Folder - Young Frankenstein
		Borrowing freely from Whale's Frankenstein (1931), Whale's Bride of Frankenstein (1935), Rowland V. Lee's Son of Frankenstein (1939), and the original novel by Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley, Gene Wilder and Mel Brooks co-wrote an outrageous screenplay that defies a simple plot summary.
		Tossing his suitcase onto a wagon full of hay, a little scream introduces Frankenstein to a delightful laboratory assistant, Inga (a lithe Teri Garr in a pushup bra), waiting to accompany him to the castle.
		Every notable '30s Frankenstein cliche is parodied: grave robbing a freshly buried corpse; an unfortunate incident at the brain depository; the Monster and the innocent little girl; the angry village meeting with the elders; a torch-bearing mob storming the castle (why aren't castles stormed during the day?); and, Elsa Lanchester's hair raising do.

	YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN
		Wilder gives his all to his portrayal of Dr. Frankenstein, a brilliant scientist with a God complex...and a frustrated sex drive.
		This was my first introduction to him as an actor and the charm and talent he gave this role have stayed with me. In this version, the monster gets the "love" he's seeking from the brilliant Madelaine Kahn and almost becomes domesticated.
		However, it's the love of Dr. Frankenstein that gives him a whole new lease on life.

	:: rogerebert.com :: Reviews :: Young Frankenstein (xhtml)
		Brooks's targets are JamesWhale's "Frankenstein" (1931) and "Bride of Frankenstein" (1935), the first the most influential and the second probably the best of the 1930s Hollywood horror movies.
		There are set pieces in the movie that deserve comparison with the most famous scenes in "The Producers." Demonstrating that he has civilized his monster, for example, Frankenstein and the creature do a soft-shoe number in fl tie and tails.
		From its opening title (which manages to satirize "Frankenstein" and "Citizen Kane" at the same time) to its closing, uh, refrain, "Young Frankenstein" is not only a Mel Brooks movie but also a loving commentary on our love-hate affairs with monsters.

	Movie Info for Young Frankenstein on MSN Movies
		Determined to live down his family's reputation, Dr. Frederick Frankenstein (co-screenwriter Gene Wilder) insists on pronouncing his name "Fronckensteen" and denies interest in replicating his grandfather's experiments.
		Frankenstein finds the monster and trains him to do a little "Puttin' On the Ritz" soft-shoe, but the monster escapes again, this time seducing Frankenstein's uptight fiancée Elizabeth (Madeline Kahn) with his, ahem, sweet mystery.
		Shooting in gleaming fl-and-white, with sets and props from the 1930s and appropriate fright music by John Morris, Brooks' cheeky attitude towards the Hollywood past attracted a large audience, turning it into one of the most popular 1974 releases after (what else?) Blazing Saddles.

		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 a cinematic tour de force.
		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.
