Well Young Frankenstein was a LOT of fun - At my place I was joined by the hubby and another couple and online we were joined by metternich1815...
A few notes before I crash...
WOW I had forgotten how incredibly brilliantly funny Marty Feldman & Gene Wilder are, everything from broad physical humor to the one-liners. The movie is so incredibly tight - Even with how Wilder, Feldman, and Gar crowd together in mock gravity scene over scene...
I could watch this on must and still guffaw with the mugs that Feldman makes!
I never really 'got' the humor to the Inspector, but metternich1815 explained that that's more of a nod to Son of Frankenstein, which I've never seen. I don't find him very funny, to be honest, but would probably appreciate it more if I had seen the original mold.
Madeline Kahn and Gar are also brilliant. Every word and line delivered perfectly. They must have had a BLAST on that set.
Oh, and this:
OMG.
So.
Many.
Funny.
Scenes.
What's your favorite?
Also - Has anyone else seen Sherlock Holmes' Smarter Brother with Feldman and Wilder? I'm going to have to watch it again.
I think that my only complaint is that it does run a bit long in the middle (I can't even identify specific scenes, but I think that it could have been a bit shorter).
However, still holds up and still is brilliant.
Looking forward to hear your thoughts on this movie and other Frankenstein films!
