Young Frankenstein

YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN is Mel Brook’s comedic take on the Universal monster classics of the ‘30s-’40s. The story follows an American struggling to disassociate himself from the legacy of his grandfather, the infamous scientist, Victor Frankenstein. When he travels to Transylvania, however, the discovery of Victor’s journals leads him to take up where his grandfather left off. 50 years later this silly spoof still endures with its wit, quotable one-liners, hilarious supporting cast, and an all-time best performance from Wilder.
