Product Description

Product description

Features new behind-the-scenes footage, bloopers, and outtakes, including the reading of the Frankenstein will in Transylvania, an "intellectual discussion" between Dr. Frankenstein (Gene Wilder) and Inga (Teri Garr), the monster's encounter with highwaym

Amazon.com

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

What Hump? Neeeeigh! Play With Your Food!

What Hump? Neeeeigh! Play With Your Food!
Dr. Frederick Frankenstein lectures his American medical students on the body's nervous system. He is a man of science, totally divorcing himself from his grandfather Victor's infamous reanimation experiments, even changing his name's pronunciation to FRONK en steen. He tells his students, "My grandfather was a very sick man." But that's before he finds out he inherited his grandfather's Transylvania castle. And library. And laboratory. Then he has a full change of heart. That little synopsis gives no clue to how "Young Frankenstein" is a perfect comedy. Everything comes together in a beautiful package. The actors are superb, especially Gene Wilder. But you can't ignore any of the performances. I had no clue until years after seeing it in the theater that Gene Hackman was in the film. The dialogue and physical bits are very funny. And when they work together, as they so often do in this film, it is hilarious. Did you know that Igor's hump changing sides started off as Marty Feldman's joke? He switched it right and left waiting to see if anybody was going to notice. And I always guffaw at Chloris Leachman's Frau Blucher (neeeigh!) declaring, "YES! He vas my boyfriend!" One of my favorite scenes is when Frederick aims to show the success of his reanimation by impressing a black-tie audience at the Bucharest Academy of Science. He and the Monster sing and dance their way through a rendition of "Puttin' on the Ritz." I dare you to watch it and not grin. "Young Frankenstein" hit the theaters in December 1974. The screenplay was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Adapted Screenplay. This is my very favorite Mel Brooks movie, though I admit not being impressed with some of them. Brooks directed twelve films in all, acting in all but one. That one was "Young Frankenstein". This was at creator and co-writer Gene Wilder's insistence, because he felt too often that Mel "broke the fourth wall" when he acted. That is, he spoke or referred directly to the audience, and Wilder didn't want that in "Young Frankenstein." Eight of Mel Brooks movies, including "Young Frankenstein," are collected in a slipcase in Mel Brooks Bx Sm Cb. Happy Reader

    5.0 out of 5 stars Fox DVD of Young Frankenstein: Uncut, Good Special Features
    Reviewed in Canada on February 19, 2016
    Verified Purchase
    The Fox DVD of *Young Frankenstein* is uncut, running the full length of 106 minutes given on the IMDb. I mention this because both in the Amazon listing, and on the back cover of the DVD case, the running time given is 102 minutes. I hesitated to purchase this item, thinking 4 minutes had been chopped, but I didn't need to worry.

    This DVD has good picture and sound. It also has a whole load of special features, including a full-length commentary with Mel Brooks. The commentary by Brooks is pretty good, giving insight into technical problems in making the picture, as well as full credit to all involved. Brooks makes a point of naming some of the lesser actors in the film, and talking about the crew as well. There is also a long featurette (over 40 minutes) on the film. There is a fair bit of overlap between information in the featurette and information in the Brooks commentary. There are some interviews with cast members, outtakes, deleted scenes, and production stills, as well as a series of trailers and TV ads for the movie.

    The deleted scenes feature is interesting, because quite a few scenes were not used, and one gets an insight into the director's mind by seeing how much was filmed yet not used. Brooks showed good judgment here. Some of the deleted scenes were just plain useless, and the rest were too long or just not funny enough. The best one was a long scene in which the Frankenstein will was read aloud to some relatives eager for a chunk of the estate. It dragged out too long, and Brooks rightly cut it, but it had a few funny moments, including the playing of a record of the dead Baron Frankenstein's voice. I am almost certain that the voice on the recording was that of John Carradine, who is not listed in the credits. Anyhow, the Baron's recording ends with a great joke, which I won't spoil.

    As for the movie itself, well, either you like Mel Brooks's style of comedy or you don't. For those who *don't* like Brooks's work, I would say that of all Mel Brooks's comedies, *Young Frankenstein* is probably the one that works the best for people who don't otherwise like Brooks's style. It is fast-paced and funny throughout. It has a few of the "cheap jokes" one finds in all Brooks's films (and which Brooks sometimes cheerily admits to using), and it has a fair bit of typical Brooks sexual innuendo (which I found wildly funny and clever at age 18, but do not find so fresh and enchanting now), but it also has many other funny bits which even a non-Brooks fan should like. It is of course helped along by our familiarity with the Universal movie monsters, and the better you know the "canon" of classical Frankenstein movies (especially Frankenstein, Bride of Frankenstein, and Son of Frankenstein), the more you will smile as you watch the film. Brooks and star Gene Wilder (who co-wrote the story) spoof the material, yet spoof it reverently and lovingly. They're making kindly fun of dear old friends, not mocking the old films as if they were trash.

    The production values are high. The photography and sets and music are all great. Brooks decided to go for a genuinely creepy atmosphere, just like that of the old horror movies, against which the humor could be played. It would have been far less effective if he had used cheesy sets and music. Oh, and by the way, the film, despite its 1974 date, is in *black and white*, as were the old horror films it is spoofing. So don't expect colour; but the black and white photography is spectacular.

    The cast is great. Everyone is good. Teri Garr never looked prettier, and shows a nice comic touch. Peter Boyle as the monster is wonderful. Wilder is very good in the lead. Feldman's hunchback is good, too. Gene Hackman does only a single scene, as the blind old man who shows compassion to the monster, but it's a good scene.

    I got this for only $11.98. At that price, this DVD was an easy decision. One of the great horror movie spoofs, packed with special features. If you are a Universal horror fan, and have never seen this film, now is the time to grab a copy.
