Editorial Review: Description: Mel Brooks' monstrously crazy tribute to Mary Shelley's classic pokes hilarious fun at just about every Frankenstein movie ever made. Summoned by a will to his late grandfather's castle in Transylvania, young Dr. Frankenstein (Gene Wilder) soon discovers the scientist's step-by-step manual explaining how to bring a corpse to life. Assisted by the hunchback Igor (Marty Feldman) and the curvaceous Ings (Teri Garr), he creates a monster (Peter Boyle) who only wants to be loved. Amazon.com essential video: If you were to argue that Mel Brooks's Young Frankenstein ranks among the top-ten funniest movies of all time, nobody could reasonably dispute the claim. Spoofing classic horror in the way that Brooks's previous film Blazing Saddles sent up classic Westerns, the movie is both a loving tribute and a raucous, irreverent parody of Universal's classic horror films Frankenstein (1931) and Bride of Frankenstein (1935). Filming in glorious black and white, Brooks re-created the Frankenstein laboratory using the same equipment from the original Frankenstein (courtesy of designer Kenneth Strickfaden), and this loving attention to physical and stylistic detail creates a solid foundation for nonstop comedy. The story, of course, involves Frederick Frankenstein (Gene Wilder) and his effort to resume experiments in re-animation pioneered by his late father. (He's got some help, since dad left behind a book titled How I Did It.) Assisting him is the hapless hunchback Igor (Marty Feldman) and the buxom but none-too-bright maiden Inga (Teri Garr), and when Frankenstein succeeds in creating his monster (Peter Boyle), the stage is set for an outrageous revision of the Frankenstein legend. With comedy highlights too numerous to mention, Brooks guides his brilliant cast (also including Cloris Leachman, Madeline Kahn, Kenneth Mars, and Gene Hackman in a classic cameo role) through scene after scene of inspired hilarity. Indeed, Young Frankenstein is a charmed film, nothing less than a comedy classic, representing the finest work from everyone involved. Not one joke has lost its payoff, and none of the countless gags have lost their zany appeal. From a career that includes some of the best comedies ever made, this is the film for which Mel Brooks will be most fondly remembered. Befitting a classic, the Special Edition DVD includes audio commentary by Mel Brooks, a "making of" documentary, interviews with the cast, hilarious bloopers and outtakes, and the original theatrical trailers. No video library should be without a copy of Young Frankenstein. And just remember--that's Fronkensteen. --Jeff Shannon Beyond Young Frankenstein

 Rating:  - great movie, great deal from amazonThis was one of me and my dad's favorite movies to watch and laugh at together when I was a kid. I saw that it was on DVD and picked up a copy of him for his b-day and a copy for my personal collection. I didn't really check out the extras, so I can't comment on those, but there did seem to be a good bit of extras on the dvd like commentary, deleted scenes, and trailers. The quality of the movies itself was good and I'm so glad that I have this movie now. Rating:  - big hitBig hit on Christmas Ordered easily and arrived in just a few short days ' thank you Rating: - A Happy SurpriseYoung Frankenstein My husband made the remark he would love to have this old DVD but doubted he would ever find it. I went into Amazon, found it immediately, and it arrived in a very short time, sooner than I expected and in very good condition. The look on his face made my Christmas!! Rating: - Knee-slapping funny, every timeI recently repurchased this movie on DVD after owning a VHS copy for years. What makes this movie a classic is that, 35 years later, people can still recall the most hilarious moments and lines in the movie, even if they haven't viewed it in years. A real strength is that something funny is going on in almost every frame of the movie, even if it is just something visible or going on the background. The quality of the supporting cast and the characters they play are outstanding: Marty Feldman's ... Read More Rating: - Young FrankensteinThis is one of Mel Brook's best.
