The Making of Young Frankenstein Pt.2/2 (Gene Wilder, Marty Feldman)

[@quigonkenny]

So much comedic talent in this movie, and so much of now gone... Glad Mel and Teri are still with us.

[@Research0digo]

Teri anyway - Mel was in love with himself.

[@davidflorcruz2908]

Unfortunately, Teri passed last year, October 2024.😢

It's been 50 years, but I haven't laughed as much at a movie as I did the first time I saw this masterpiece. Many years later I was very much in love with a woman with two teenage sons, and none of them had seen it. Halfway through Madeline Kahn's first scene, both boys were rolling on the floor, saying, "Mom, she's YOU!". And, she was. Lovely memory.

[@Prof.Tarfeather]

My all time Favorite movie! I went and saw this with my sisters and next door neighbors during Christmas Vacation when I was thirteen. If it was done in color the movie wouldn't have been the same? The black and white theme was absolute Genius! I was in eight grade and noticed that. I went and saw it again in the Summer when the Theater brought it back for a second showing. I purchased the Video in the early 1990's to share with my three son's who were adolescents and they loved it! They roared with laughter. I still remembered all the lines after twenty five years. We wore the tape out. Sadly most of these great Actors have passed, but the joy they've brought still lives on everytime we watch them on screen, not just Young Frankenstein, but all their other movies and TV shows. But I have to say, Young Frankenstein was pure Genius!

[@ghostsofVTurbexSkysthelimitvid]

right on, it was perfect in B&W, so glad that was the case, this is one of the greatest comedies ever made in my opinion, thanks for watching and the great comments, appreciate that !

[@3467AAA]

This movie was a masterpiece of comedy. Until this day it keeps making me laugh.

[@AnyoneCanSee]

This was incredibly popular in the UK. The absurdist humour really appealed to British audiences and probably why Marty Feldman fit in so perfectly. Feldman was pretty much one of the Python team having worked and written with them. Comic genius, gone too soon.

[@Smileythesilent]

Australia too, it was perfect!

[@Prof.Tarfeather]

I had no idea Feldman was part of the Monty Python Troupe? I never noticed him on their televised show? Yet, they did start out a long time prior to the 1970's when I was a teenager and took notice of them? The Holy Grail was a huge hit in the USA and I went to the Theater to see it when I was in Jr. High. I must have been 12 or 13 at the time. Only in the past few years did I find out that the sales of Pink Floyd's Money Album was to help finance the The Holy Grail Movie.

[@olaringstrom559]

@@Prof.Tarfeather He was not a part of Python, however he worked closely with Cleese and Chapman in the "At last the 1948 show" Many of the sketches there were actually remade by the Pythons in later years often with some slight change but sometimes completely original.

[@davidgriego278]

To this day, there is no Funnier Movie, than Young Frankenstein! Mel Brooks, Gene Wilder; the entire Cast was pure Genius!😊😊😊😊

[@ijustgottasaythis]

17:37 That look on The Monsters face... Is another scene that gets me. It is a very fine line when actors "break the 4th wall" and Mel Brooks, violating conventional direction, insisting his actors do these things, is one of the marks of a gifted, funny man. I know some people that don't like the Mel Brooks "stupid" humor & it's not everybody's "cup o tea" but, I just love it. So stupid, it's smart, ya can't help but laugh!

[@nyccolm]

Yup. It’s a classic. Still funny as heck on the tenth viewing! They’re all fabulous. ❤😅

[@CaroleRowe-Zaeske]

In 1953 I was a sophomore in high school. Like most teens we had an after school place to hang out. Ours was Militzer's bakery and restaurant on Capitol Drive in Milwaukee. There was a whole bunch of us and in walks this crazy guy. He was about 19 at the time, and he was dressed really strangkind of like, well, he wore a very long scarf around his neck and a "tam" on his head. Really strange. We were having a good laugh when someone said, " come on Jerry sit down and join us" He did and treated us with so much fun we laughed ourselves silly. It turned out that his name was Jerry Silvertburg. He was a senior at another high school nearby . He.came several times always a joke or two. Ofcourse you now he changed his name to Gene Wilder. I didn't know he was Jerry until we took the children to see Willy Wonka and I shrieked "I know that man" What a guy.

[@leafyrox]

I saw Young Frankenstein first so it's my favorite Mel Brooks movie. It's so funny, and these behind the scenes clips make me appreciate it even more.

[@davidprince1138]

"The 12 Chairs", which is quite a bit different than most of his work, but I enjoyed and would recommend it. Of course, the usual mentions, "Blazing Saddles", "Silent Movie", "High Anxiety" and "Spaceballs"

[@richardjezewski]

This is the way movies should be made with a people's touch

[@rmiddlehouse]

These outtakes are just pure joy

[@ghostsofVTurbexSkysthelimitvid]

totally agree, i watch them all the time, especially Young Frankenstein. There is something about the black and white that makes it even more special, but its just hilarity at points , i really still laugh at all the same parts i did last week :)

[@williamsnyder5616]

@@ghostsofVTurbexSkysthelimitvid The first time I saw "Young Frankenstein" was a theater in Ann Arbor, MI. I knew I was in for a treat when I saw a closeup of the Grandfather clock. It PERFECTLY conveyed the lighting of 1930s black and white.

[@joelluongo7419]

After watching all the videos about " Young Frankenstein " it occurred to me.. Gene Wilder was the only one that always gravitated back to the monster. ( Frankenstein ) He had a focus that centered on Frankenstein. This is obvious when he dances on stage with Frankenstein. To suggest how far he has gotten the monster to progress back into society.

[@johnwatson3948]

I was a student intern on a movie in 1980 and ate lunch at craft service with elderly Bill Tuttle - regret that we talked about many of his makeup jobs but somehow not Young Frankenstein.

[@hughwalker5628]

I fell in love with Teri Garr when I saw this at the movies. How could anyone not? I think Gene Wilder is right at the end. Comedy or not, it does justice to the theme of the original. A proper film, properly made.

[@ghostsofVTurbexSkysthelimitvid]

Teri was a knockout, i just couldnt get enough of her :) thanks for watching !

[@johnshields6852]

Great comedy, rich background scenery, I don't think I've seen anything like it, partly because personally I was young and the fact that society in general was a more innocent or naive time.

[@jonathangems]

Gene Wilder's so right about the theme. It's the theme of Mary Woolstencraft's book, which had never been expressed in a Frankenstein movie before. The monster is a child, yearning for love.

[@seankim884]

You Get Nothing You Lose Good Day Sir RIP Gene Wilder Willy Wonka.

A classic. Saw it when it came out… now I have my boys introduce their wives and kids to it

[@lorraineschultz2149]

I loved this movie!

[@neatstuff1988]

I loved these years.😊

[@stephenholmes1036]

Marty Feldman was great! Blucher

[@jaysmith1408]

We had an Audi, not particularly fond of it. Named it Frau Blucher. Or Frau for short.

[@janicehamm3474]

I like that they actually watch it…today some movies are so bad that u know the creators never watch it

[@RodgerRamjet]

happy to see the 2nd,(half) and more.. from your hobby... now for Spaceballs............ ( meaning, hey.. you do anything on Spaceballs ??)..!

[@ghostsofVTurbexSkysthelimitvid]

i think i have one video on spaceballs, will double check, but not a lot of material for some mel brooks movies. i got lucky with YF, yeah i have one spaceballs behind the scenes, was lucky to get that for sure.

[@RodgerRamjet]

@@ghostsofVTurbexSkysthelimitvid maybe a composite of "Behind the scenes" of several ?? Producers, Silent Movie, High Anxiety, History of the World.. etc..??

[@vickilawrence7207]

I miss Gene Wilder,and Gilda his wife actually too but there’s never gonna be another Gene Wilder or Mel Brooks! Terri Garr was incredible in her film

[@vickilawrence7207]

Debut, and Clovis Leachman and Marty were both fabulous. That’s a fantastic movie

[@peterbooth793]

I bet the one in the turbin line was inspired by none other than the great Groucho Marx. 👍

[@ghostsofVTurbexSkysthelimitvid]

absolutely, that scene is epic lol

[@sciencedavedunning3415]

Thank you, Captain obvious. Lmao

[@eccehomer8182]

0:28 Possibly the funniest scene in movie history!

[@ghostsofVTurbexSkysthelimitvid]

i lost it when i first saw this scene, right on !!

[@thedevilinthecircuit1414]

The way Marty disconnects, turns, and puts the cake in his mouth is pure comedy.

[@Marshallgill]

It is interesting to me that Mel Brooks was simultaneously working on what would be two truly classic movies which were written by Gene Wilder and Richard Prior who would go on to team up themselves.

[@amherst88]

Thanks for posting ❤️

[@ghostsofVTurbexSkysthelimitvid]

your welcome ! thanks for watching !

[@jay-day]

Mel was thinking of takingv out the "Walk this Way" gag?!? It was a 5 second scene, but was one of the most memorable scenes in the movie. I've mimicked that scene multiople times over the years. And it almost didn't make it.

[@patricksanders858]

Did you see that Gene threw the third dart backwards?

[@ghostsofVTurbexSkysthelimitvid]

no i didnt :)

[@0okamino]

I have to wonder if there were many if any one take shots in the filmography of Mel Brooks. I don’t care how much of a professional anyone is, it just seems too far beyond human willpower to not crack up the first time at the very least, and probably the second take as well. It’s truly admirable that they ever got any final cuts, with the comedic talent on set, including Mel himself.

[@solarforfuture]

very cool. thanks

[@quitwastinmytime]

Hahahaha: "Rated PG". Those were better times.

[@MuzixMaker]

In Jan 2022, only Mel and Teri are still with us.
