This movie came out one year after I was born...and WHAT a movie it WAS!
I have always been a BIG Gene Wilder fan. I remember telling my mom when I was younger that the day Gene Wilder died was the day my heart would truly break. I enjoy his form of comedy...he tends to laugh along with the audience - smiling as he delivers the lines or cocking his head to the side as if he dares us NOT to laugh when he keeps a straight face.
Young Frankenstein is a about a doctor descended from Frankenstein Senior (yes, that one) and a last will and testament that leaves the castle to Junior and he manages to find the same urges to experiment once he finds his grandfather's book and realizes that the possibility of re-animating the dead might not be so far-fetched after all.
Peter Boyle excels as The Monster. Madeline Kahn makes me laugh - "no, not the nails...no, not the hair - don't touch the hair!!!" Teri Garr is just a bombshell as Inga. The actors and characters are so well played that I can see this movie year after year and still smile and enjoy it.
