FIRST TIME WATCHING | Young Frankenstein (1974)

[@PeterDavid7KQ201]

Gene Hackman as Harold the blind hermit...the ultimate scene-stealer.

[@victorsixtythree]

And he had won a Best Actor Oscar a few years earlier for The French Connection. I always wondered how he came to be in Young Frankenstein. I wonder if he was friends with Gene Wilder or Mel Brooks before hand?

[@BigGator5]

Gene Hackman proves there is no small parts, only small actors.

Those actually were the props used in the original Frankenstein film. That is why it looks so similar.

They also had the original lighting director

[@R._Thornhill]

She said that.

[@Robotechnology101]

Don't forget the big detail about this which was that Gene Wilder collaborated with Mel Brooks on producing this movie. According to something I heard regarding this movie a few years ago, apparently Gene Wilder was the one who brought the idea of doing this to Mel Brooks.

[@tomyoung9049]

the hump moving back and forth wasn't scripted. Feldman did it as a running joke to see who would notice.

[@josheldridge8546]

Brooks did, and loved it.

Young Frankenstein movie 1974

[@BigGator5]

Aerosmith wrote "Walk This Way" after watching this movie. You should consider watching that one too. 😎 🎸 Trivia: When Mel Brooks was preparing for this film, he discovered that Ken Strickfaden, who'd made the elaborate electrical machinery for the lab sequences in the Universal Frankenstein films, was still alive and living in the Los Angeles area. Brooks visited Strickfaden, and found that he had stored all the equipment in his garage. Brooks made a deal to rent the equipment, and gave Strickfaden the screen credit (which you saw) he didn't receive for the original films.

[@The_Dudester]

About 15 years ago I had to cash a check at a Bank of America branch. The head teller caught that I was a non customer standing in a customer line. She loudly dressed me down in front of everyone, making me do the walk of shame to the non customer line. I turned the tables on her, hunched over like Igor and saying "Yes master" in a Renfield voice and even added the dragging one foot bit. I would have filed a complaint on her but I felt the response would have been that she followed the company line doing that.

[@Hammox]

I LOVE that story!!!

[@michaelbuhl4250]

Back in 1967 Marty Feldman used to be on a TV show called *At Last the 1948 Show* with future *Monty Python* members John Cleese and Graham Chapman.

[@jonanderson559]

The great thing for me is how faithful it is to the look and feel of those old 30s Universal horrors. And there was a lot of humour in some of those, Bride of Frankenstein of course, and a personal favourite The Old Dark House.

[@wadeheaton123]

I love The Old Dark House. Karloff and Ernest Thresinger from Bride of Frankenstein. And a young and ravishing Gloria Stuart.

"the son of..." starred Basil Rathbone, of sherlock holmes fame, who played the son. he denounced his name sake, the castle had huge doors with huge knockers and there was an one-armed constable and a dart game. you wanna watch another wilder/brooks collaboration watch brooks' first movie "the producers" which also stars zero mostel. it's HILARIOUS!

[@hollyodell4012]

Gene Wilder, Marty Feldman and Madeline Kahn were also in "The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes' Smarter Brother" together. It isn't Mel Brooks, it was actually written and directed by Gene Wilder. It's maybe a little inconsistent but it does have some classic comedic scenes, and it's great to see them all together being silly🙂

[@cjmacq-vg8um]

everyone knows sherlock's real name is "sheer-luck." i always liked that movie too. this movie was based more on "The Son of Frankenstein" than the first one.

[@stephanginther9051]

Fun fact. This movie was the cause the first and only argument between Wilder and Mel Brooks. In an interview Gene Wilder said that he and Mel Brooks pretty much agreed on everything. When Wilder proposed the dance scene with the monster, Brooks argued against it. For hours they debated with Wilder arguing for the scene and Brooks against it. Finally at like 5AM Brooks said, "I agree, I love the scene. It has to be in the movie." Gene Wilder was incensed at first asking, 'if you _liked_ it, why did you argue against it for so long?' Brooks said, "I love the scene but I wasn't sure if it would fit, but I knew that if you were willing to fight over it than it was right to put it in."

[@Jeff_Lichtman]

Did you notice that Inspector Kemp (played by Kenneth Mars) wore a monocle over an eyepatch through the whole movie?

[@donkfail1]

Mel Brooks was supposed to stay off screen, but I heard it's his hands robbing the skeleton at the beginning. He just couldn't stay away.

[@Peter-wd1yo]

Brooks made the cat noise when Frankenstein was playing darts with the police officer

[@DaElfer]

dont know if anyone mentioned Mel Brooks parts Mel Brooks as Werewolf / Cat Hit by Dart / Victor Frankenstein (voice)

[@ronaldyankovich8363]

This is my favorite Mel Brooks movie. Blazing Saddles is funnier and more socially satirical (therefore more important), but as a fan of the original Frankenstein trilogy I adore this one. If one watches the original Frankenstein, Bride of Frankenstein and Son of Frankenstein, one gets more humor out of this tribute than just the surface gags.

[@beatmet2355]

They’re both classics. IMO, they’re examples of two different approaches to comedy. YF is more cerebral and subtle, BS more lowbrow and slapstick. Both brilliant in their own way.

[@shwicaz]

Ronald, I agree. I recently watched the Universal Horror Films in order and I was amazed at how all the individual films ended up coming together (like 'the Avengers' did, after all the individual hero films). Quite the trip, and I found the Frankenstein Franchise to be among the best.

[@Hexon66]

No, Blazing Saddles is definitely not funnier, and only socially satirical because of the sheriff, which is a fair point. But definitely not funnier.

[@accam6734]

I think this movie is a lot funnier.

[@wadeheaton123]

This is a loving parody of the two Universal films Frankenstein and Bride of Frankenstein starring Boris Karloff as the Monster. The 1st was definitely a Horror film. The 2nd had a aly and light humor. I suggest viewing The Bride to get the jokes. These were directed by James Whale and there is a biopic about him that offers insights as well: Gods and Monsters For Brook's 1st collaboration with Gene Wilder, The Producers (1967). Kenneth Mars is hilarious as well. It also features my favorite musical number. Springtime for Hitler

[@cybergeek11235]

Intelligence is knowing Frankenstein wasn't the monster. Wisdom is knowing Frankenstein *was* the monster.

[@mikedignum1868]

Teri Garr a very underrated actress was also in Tootsie-Close Encounters & Friends.

[@talltulip]

I couldn't agree more. Those are both terrific movie recommendations.

[@melenatorr]

The script is actually borrowing heavily from "The Son of Frankenstein", from 1939. It stars Basil Rathbone as the son of the Doctor, and Boris Karloff returning as the Monster. Also featured is Lionel Atwill as the Inspector, who, like the Kenneth Mars character, has at least one prosthetic, due, in his case, to having been attacked by the Monster years before. If you watch "The Producers" from 1967, you'll see Kenneth Mars again, having a marvelous time.

[@1949Pickle]

If you like Mel Brooks comedies, I suggest The Producers (1967), which was Brooks directorial debut and is now a cult favorite.

[@johnenglish1955]

[@Fmanzo10]

I don’t know about that. This movie has more adult or sexual jokes than Blazing Saddles. If anything a more accurate thing to say would be Blazing Saddles = juvenile humor vs Young Frankenstein = adult humor.

[@cassiemichael4697]

Don't know if you realize this, but the old man in the science classroom used as a demonstration, character name of Mr. Hilltop, is the same actor who played the Reverend Johnson, the Rock Ridge Town preacher, in Blazing Saddles.

[@MonsieurBooyah]

the key to this movie is watching the original 30s film. it's the original set, and they do a ton of the same setups and scenes, with just little twists to turn them into comedy. it's a love letter to old film, complete with exaggerated makeup for the black and white film.

[@victornewmanforever]

Although some scenes are borrowed from Frankenstein and Bride of Frankenstein, Young Frankenstein's plot is more of a spoof on Son of Frankenstein, the (less known) third film of the franchise.

[@ajivins1]

'Son-' is my favourite-Rathbone, Lugosi, Karloff and Attwil!

[@sparky6086]

Marty Feldman wasn't underrated at the time of "Young Frankenstein". In fact, he was a favorite of audiences. Sadly, he died only a few years after it was released, and that may be why, he may seem a bit underrated nowadays compared to the other stars.

[@williamjones6031]

1. The old man at the beginning that gets racked is the same guy that plays the preacher in Blazing Saddles 2. I first saw this at a drive-in (that's still here BTW) and there was a lunar eclipse over the screen that made it even cooler than it was. 3. The studio wanted this in color but Brooks and Wilder insisted black and white because they wanted the old school tone. 4. Wilder agreed to do Blazing Saddles only if Brooks would direct and help write this movie. 5. It was almost impossible to get through the "You take the blonde and I'll take the one in the turban" scene. Everyone kept cracking up. You can see Wider trying not to laugh. 6. Igor's hump changing sides was Feldman's running gag on the cast and it was kept in the movie. 7. Marty Feldman's walleyed orbs were the result of both a hyperactive thyroid and a botched operation after a car accident before his 30th birthday, in 19637. 8. Light reflecting off of the monster's missing teeth is not a good. It's on purpose

[@Mr59Kenzo]

one caveat the cat scream (voiced by Mel Brooks) during the darts scene. it is my favorite film Marty Feldman was an amazing performer his breaking the forth was was hilarious

[@princeeverlove]

Based upon 1939's "SON OF FRANKENSTEIN" this was Wilder and Brook's loving tribute...

[@simondawe8774]

The constable with the crazy arm is taken from a character from son of Frankenstein. The blind old man is taken from a character in Bride of Frankenstein.

The joke with Frau Bruher's name is Bruher is the name of an old glue company in Germany. Also I only just noticed that the inspector has a manacle in front of his eye patch....lol.

[@rusthand7110]

I love that you are enjoying this. Growing up with this it brings great happiness that younger generations get the humor.

[@nikolatesla5553]

FYI: "Kleben" is the German word for glue. Not "Blucher" as so many people have repeated over the last 40 years.

[@talltulip]

The most hilarious movie that has Madeline Kahn in it, IMO, is "What's Up Doc." She is a scream in that one! The movie is hysterical, overall. The courtroom scene is one of the funniest because of the actor who plays the judge (the same actor who played the medical example in the lecture hall, wearing the hospital gown). Would definitely make for a terrific reaction. Another funny movie with Miss Kahn is Paper Moon. Her part isn't that big, but she made an lasting impression.

[@billolsen4360]

So is Kenneth Mars

[@seantlewis376]

I recommend watching the entire Mel Brooks catalog. I was eight years old when Young Frankenstein and Blazing Saddle came out. My dad took me to see them. Between the two, I don't remember ever laughing so much, even though I didn't get some of the jokes, like the sexual jokes. BTW, Mel Brooks does not appear on screen in this one, but he did provide the cat scream sound effect in the dart-playing scene. If you like Marty Feldman, I highly suggest Sherlock Holmes' Smarter Brother (also with Gene Wilder), and The Last Remake of Beau Geste. He was also in a sketch comedy troupe in the 1960s with some future Monty Python members. Great talent there.

[@armorborgwarclass]

The equipment they used was used in the 1933 Frankenstein film.

[@jean-paulaudette9246]

My dear, Marty Feldman is a known comedic genius. I will wholeheartedly suggest veiwing "Yellowbeard" and "The Last Remake of Beau Geste" for his work.

[@theironherder]

One joke with a call back which I have never seen a reactor mention was the lady in the 1st leg of the train ride who complained, in English, about her neighbor. Followed a call back by a lady (same one?) in the final leg of the train ride who voiced the same (as near as I can tell) complaint in German (or Yiddish?).

[@rollingstoneworks3183]

If you’re working through Mel Brooks’s catalogue, don’t sleep on History of the World Part I- definitely should be on your list. One more request for checking out Wes Anderson movies- The Grand Budapest Hotel, The Royal Tenenbaums, The Life Aquatic…any of them really. Cheers.

[@mkozlinski]

14:20 "Schvantzstucker" is a word formation base on Yiddish word "Schwantz" which is literaly a "tail" (in German) but in Yiddish slang is one of the many terms for penis. "stucker" is probably derived from the word "schtick" ("stück" in German) meaning a piece of something, a thing also a joke or theatrical play. It's a multilevel word.

[@johnenglish1955]

🤠 Gotta be in my Top 5 greatest comedies of all time! 👍

[@Crow-T-German-Robot]

Fun Fact: Blücher does not mean Glue in german, never did and never will. There was a Gebhard Leberecht von Blücher, but he was a prussian fieldmarshall in the 1800s and he did not have anything to do with glue either. The Blüchers are old german nobility, being first mentioned in the year 1214, but still got nothing to do with glue, well they probably used it to glue stuff together, but this is as far as that relationship goes. Well actually, Besitz is a municipality in the Ludwigslust-Parchim district in the federal state Mecklenburg-Vorpommern here in Germany, which itself is split into two smaller districts, one being the district of Besitz and the other being the district of Blücher, there isn't a glue factory there either. Some of you might be thinking: OMG who the hell cares and you might be right, who does?

[@jedislap8726]

There IS a relationship with Von Blucher and horses though as he allegedly was quite aggressive with his use of cavalry, so that maybe the point of the joke but according to Mel Brooks it was just a name he chose and the whole joke was just related to the sound effects from the old Hammer movies.

[@MrTech226]

Band, Aerosmith gotten their song name, Walk This Way from this movie after they took a break from recording and went to see this movie. One of producers loved Marty Feldman's (EE-Gore) famous line, "Walk This Way". He suggested it to Steven Tyler who was writing the song at that time.

'The Adventure of Sherlock Holmes' Smarter Brother' is a crazy movie written/directed by Gene Wilder, with Madeline Kahn and Marty Feldman. And Madeline sings alot in it.

This was Gene Wilder's film, Brooks sort of took over direction in return Gene appeared in "Blazing Saddles". Teri Garr was gorgeous, if you've seen the Original Star Trek series she was in an episode set in the 1960s that was an attempt at a spin-off called 'Assignment: Earth' with the character Gary Seven (Robert Lansing). I think this film is smarter than a lot of Mel Brooks films which are often filled with slapstick and dick jokes (such as "Spaceballs"). I think his best film is "High Anxiety" which is a spoof of Alfred Hitchcock films. Brooks stars, it also has Madeline Kahn and Harvey Korman (Hedley Lamarr from "Blazing Saddles") and Cloris Leachman (Frau Blücher) (she was in 35 episodes of "The Mary Tyler Moore Show" before getting her own spin-off "Phyllis" which lasted 48 eps.)

[@bighuge1060]

Most viewers don't count the clock rings during the tale end of the opening credit. The clock rings 13 times.

Ash, another great reaction! Although I would've bet dollars to doughnuts that you would've preferred this to Blazing Saddles. I think the reason this film's humor didn't resonate with you as consistently is because of your youth, and your ignorance on the Frankenstein franchise. The humor in Blazing Saddles is so crass and in your face, whereas the humor in YF is oftentimes more subtle and sophisticated. One quick example of humor that a Gen-Z'er such as yourself surely failed to catch was when Dr. Frankenstein pulled up to the station and yelled out the window to the boy, "Pardon me, boy, is this the Transylvania Station?" The boy answered, "Yah, yah. Track 29...would you like a shine?" This is a play on the old big band classic song, "Chattanooga Choo-choo", by The Glenn Miller Band, circa 1940. It was one of the most popular songs of the Swing music era, and everyone knew the lyrics like the back of their hand. Singer, Tex Beneke, sings: "Pardon me boy, is that the Chattanooga Choo-Choo?" The chorus of men singing the role of the boy answers, "Yeah, Track 29!" To which Tex responds, "Boy, you can give me a shine." (The boy is a shoe-shine boy.) And then in another verse Tex sings, "You leave the Pennsylvania Station about a quarter to four..." Get it, Transylvania Station, Pennsylvania Station. And of course, the funniest part is not even the lines, but the nonplussed look on Gene Wilder's face that turns the joke from a double into a home run. Please know, Ash, I'm not suggesting you should know these things. I'm just explaining why much of the humor fell flat for you. And that the film is actually funnier than you realize. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
