Edition) see more Editorial Review: Description: 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 How the West Was Won The Longest Day Blazing Saddles Stills from Young Frankenstein (Click for larger image) 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.

Do I really need to say ANYTHING else?? Rating: - Bad Disc 5-Stars to this movie. My very favorite Comedy. 5-Stars to Amazon.com's Customer Service. Their return policy is the best. Now to my problem with this Blu-Ray release. It will not play on my Panasonic BR player. It will get to the Main menu, but when I click Play, it will just set there and go no farther. I even tried going through Scene selection and it still will not go no farther after clicking on any scene selected. I returned it for a replacement and received another one. Same problem. I returned ... Read More Rating: - As good as it gets! I just purchased Young Frankenstein on Blu-ray, and I have to say that the transfer is about as good as this film will ever look. Yes, it is grainy, but that is the way Mel Brooks intended the film to look. Be thankful you are getting a very nice anamorphic transfer after all these years. Fox got it right, as for the bonus material it really is what fans of the film have been waiting for except for the deleted scenes not being presented in anamorphic widescreen, but what are you going to do. The sound ... Read More Rating: - Whole Grain If you're a fan of classic horror, this is a good one to have. In an apparent attempt to replicate the technique of the original Universal horrors, this film is INCREDIBLY grainy. I saw the film first run on a big screen and I don't remember it being THIS grainy. It's like the whole thing is infested by billions of swarming gnats. I'm all for the director's intent, but geez. Also, this being Mel Brooks, the humor is (of course) quite ham fisted. Rating: - Blu Ray Edition a MAJOR Disappointment! Though the film itself is a 5-star comedy masterpiece, I'm going to have to give this Blu Ray edition only two stars. The problem is the level of graininess. I'm well aware that grain is a feature of the medium itself. I'm also aware that a Blu Ray player will reveal more of this grain on our home theaters than what we're used to. But natural grain is not what I'm talking about here. On this disc, some error in the transfer exaggerated the grain to the point it became something akin to noise.
