A hilarious spoof/horror from the parody-meister, Mel Brooks. Dr. Frankenstein's grandchild has lived to resent his grandfather's past deed until he travels to Transylvania to the virtually abandon Frankenstein mansion. There, Young Frankenstein repeats his grandfather's experiment ---- hopefully, nothing will go wrong this time. The acting by the entire cast is inspired in this very entertaining spoof! Marty Feldman is notable as Igor (pronounced Eyegor) and Leachman is wonderfully frightening as Frau Blucher. An outrageously funny film that has gained a lot of critical acclaim; I recommend it!
