Young frankenstein Putting On The Ritz

Just a short clip from a 'must see' movie.
Please Note:
I don't own this clip I just came across it on-line

[@samuellasky7771]

I'm not sure what's more ridiculous: The way that Dr. Frankestein was able to teach the monster a choreographed musical number, or the fact that everyone in this very classy establishment brought cabbage to throw at the performers

[@valentinemiller8680]

Actually it used to be quite common to bring items to throw in case of an awful performance. It was starting to become less popular, but it still happened during this time frame. Humans just like throwing stuff.

[@SubTroppo]

Well it is Hollywood, and you've just got to train your mind to jump-cut just like the movies do.

I guess at one time audiences did take vegetables to the theatre to throw at the actors if the stunk . I know it happened at the Globe Theatre during Shakespeare's times , but I'm not sure when they stopped . It's a good thing they did for the sake of today's actors and playwrights !

[@markcobuzzi826]

I find it ironic how, in this particular regard, Mel Brooks’ comic portrayal was more faithful to Mary Shelley’s envisioned character than some prior depictions. In the original novel, not only is the creature massive with superhuman strength, but he also has superhuman speed which makes him difficult for Victor Frankenstein to hunt. Near the end, there is even a mention that the creature stole firearms and briefly used them to ward off villagers in the frozen north.
