YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN is a 1974 American comedy horror film directed by Mel Brooks. The screenplay was co-written by Brooks and Gene Wilder. Wilder also starred in the lead role as the title character, a descendant of the infamous Dr. Victor Frankenstein, and Peter Boyle as the monster. The film co-stars Teri Garr, Cloris Leachman, Marty Feldman, Madeline Kahn, Kenneth Mars, Richard Haydn, and Gene Hackman. The film is a parody of the classic horror film genre, in particular the various film adaptations of Mary Shelley's 1818 novel Frankenstein; or, The Modern Prometheus produced by Universal Pictures in the 1930s. Much of the lab equipment used as props was created by Kenneth Strickfaden for the 1931 film Frankenstein. To help evoke the atmosphere of the earlier films, Brooks shot the picture entirely in black and white, a rarity in the 1970s, and employed 1930s' style opening credits and scene transitions such as iris outs, wipes, and fades to black. The film also features a period score by Brooks' longtime composer John Morris.
A critical favorite and box-office smash, Young Frankenstein ranks No. 28 on Total Film magazine's readers' "List of the 50 Greatest Comedy Films of All Time", No. 56 on Bravo's list of the "100 Funniest Movies", and No. 13 on the American Film Institute's list of the 100 funniest American movies. In 2003, it was deemed "culturally, historically or aesthetically significant" by the United States National Film Preservation Board, and selected for preservation in the Library of Congress National Film Registry. It was later adapted by Brooks and Thomas Meehan as a stage musical. The film received nominations for the Academy Award for Best Sound and Best Adapted Screenplay, the latter of which was a nomination shared with Wilder and Brooks. On its 40th anniversary, Brooks considered it by far his finest (although not his funniest) film as a writer-director. (wikipedia)

AWESOME! So glad this was posted. Our whole family quotes scenes of this movie all the time, This is in my top 5 movies of all time. Its the work of pure genius
Glad you enjoyed it!
It is the work of genius, I do agree.
😂😅
When I was in the eighth grade I was called to the principle’s office where I found my dad who told me he was there to take me to my dentist appointment. I began to say that I didn’t have a dentist appointment before my dad cut me off. We left the school and walked across the street to the Orange Mall 6 Theaters to see Young Frankenstein and then he returned me to the remainder of the school day.
I wish I could give back even a fraction of the joy Brooks and Wilder have given me.
Gene was a cutup at Washington High School in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. He headlined the annual talent show, "Tonia Toppers" with a great skit about two Englishmen pouring tea. You just knew he was destined for something big. Gordy Schlicke
what year was that?
My Mom went to that High School with Gene (and the late Wisconsin Senator Herb Kohl) and she said Gene was popular and when walking down the halls, he would animatedly said “hi, hi, hi” to all the classmates. What a Milwaukee treasure. ❤
I love Gene's smile.
We miss him.
that scene with the monster & blind hermit for me is the funniest laugh-out-loud scene ive ever experienced in cinema
I was just thinking of that scene when I read your comment 😂!
Terri Garr in that movie. TOTAL. SMOKE. SHOW.
There really is no bad character in the whole movie! All Aces
When Blazing Saddles came out on VHS we took magic mushrooms and nearly died screaming in maniacal helpless laughter😂😂😂. This is a close 2nd.
Those were the days…😉
crazy to think the movie was only 20 years old at the time of this interview. Now it's nearly 50!
This movie is timeless.
One of the greatest spoof comedies of all time. Greatness.
The Dr Frankenstein and Creature dance routine is my favorite. It warms my heart to think that Gene Wilder fought so hard for its inclusion. A very lovable performer.
Same here. Crazy to think that Mel Brooks wasn’t sure about it. Puttin on the Riiiiiiiitz😂
Long Live the Spirit of Gene Wilder!
Gene Wilder was one of the last of true gentlemen in show business. Talented, funny and at heart a genuine good guy. If you want an English accent, think David Niven. Same thing - no pretenciousnes, just doing good job.
What a wonderful interview! Gene Wilder and Mel Brooks are a perfect match for these movies. The whole cast was awesome!
A supremely touching retelling how YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN came to be. AN AMAZING RECOUNT. SUCH A FUNNY FUNNY CLASSIC MOVIE!
What's amazing is how much of "Young Frankenstein" is almost verbatim from the original "Frankenstein". To follow up "Blazing Saddles" with "Young Frankenstein" is genius.
Thank God for Gene, Mel, and all involved in this Classic, I can't stop laughing even as I'm writing this.
Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley started writing this when she was 18 and finished it when she was 20. The book is scary to me but movie Young Frankenstein is the funniest I’ve ever seen. The right cast, the right director, the right producers all came together at the right time.
Best movie ever. Gene Wilder a genius who does not get enough credit. The entire cast was brilliant and the movie is so quotable. The poo poo undies scene may be my favorite, but the scene with Gene Hackman is equally delightful.
The movie’s impact is so strong that Christopher Moore used “Abby Normal” in 2010’s Bite Me-my favorite of his books. I interviewed him; he was a huge fan of the film.
I haven't realized Gene Hackman was in there. I have watched it at lest ten times.
He plays the blind man
I have lost track of how many times I have seen the movie, and I never realized it was Hackman. Time to watch it again... 😎
One of the best movies of all time.
Everybody in this movie was equally good, even if their part was very small. A classic built on a classic movie and book.
I’m so glad to have found this interview/show about this little movie my cousin took me to see in 1974 ( I was 14) after school on a Wednesday (I was in 7th grade) at 5 pm…I remember having so much fun watching this movie…I followed Gene Wilder until his death 😢… I loved him on everything he did…I really enjoyed his interviews and films to the max…I recall seeing StirCrazy in 1980 and loved him even more…I will always miss…”The Waco Kid “ RIP my friend 😢
Here is another good YF documentary:
Young Frankenstein Movie Documentary (with Mel Brooks)
czcams.com/video/zzTvsZ-Gx7M/video.html
*Bravo!* 👏🏻🎬
May all the cast & crew L.I.P. - Laugh in Peace! 🌹
7:36 - I love this story. This truly shows the passion of both Gene Wilder and Mel Brooks forward the art of theater, movies, and comedy, and what must have been unspoken deep, deep trust and respect by Mel Brooks toward Gene Wilder (probably cultivated by working with him in Blazing Saddles). Brooks knew that if Wilder truly showed that in his heart of hearts this was the right move, if Wilder passionately fought for it because it was the right thing to do, then any doubts he'd have would be extinguished and he'd put it in the movie. As Wilder said, Brooks believed that a script is built upon columns, and if after shaking those foundational columns the scene and concept still stands, then it must be in the movie. His test was to rattle those columns and test if this scene would stand, and it held firm, and this added scene ended up becoming one of the best scenes of the movie despite Brooks's initial unsureness. It's heartwarming, and shows the genius in both of them, particularly Mel Brooks.
The movie is even better than they give it credit for, a genuinely funny, funny movie.
The funniest movie ever made. Cast was perfect. Wish they would have made a sequel
The sequel could mabey be a parody on Frankenstein Meets Wolfman?
Such a monumental movie, greatly admired and enjoyed almost worldwide ... Still quoted or referred to in the Netherlands.
Only a film like this can stay with millions of people throughout their lives, it has so many scenes of which people " Quote" to this day. That makes it a Classic film for all time. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🏴💙🏴💙😂💙🏴
Yo...true stars shine in the dark of "the world"...may we all be as bold...
The lesson in movie making of Young Frankenstein is if you make a spoof, do not spoof out of spite, or make fun of films you hate.
Do it out of love.
Young Frankenstein is as much a work of devotion to the classic horror era as it is a pi## take.
Love, love, love, this movie & every person in it!🎉💕💕🎉🎉
I saw this classic film on VHS in the 80s. 40 years later and it’s still my favourite comedy. I know it off by heart but it’s still hilarious.
I loved the great homage Peter Boyle played to the role when he was doing everybody loves Raymond and they did the Halloween show where he was again the monster.
Funny as heck every time I watch it. Perfection. Stellar cast. Plus a nod to the 1st two Franken-films. I was 16, breaking up with my girlfriend, who was there, with me never laughing the 1st time I watched. Since then I laugh my @ss off no matter how many times I've seen it. A comedic masterpiece. They are all so good in it, but Feldman & Kahn especially rock me.
"You take the blonde, I'll take the one in the toibin," is pure Marx Brothers! Bet you a dollar Mr. Feldman knew that! :)))
It’s one of the funniest lines in the movie 🍻
No kidding 🙄
It’s Groucho Marx, 1930’s teen heartthrob and 1950’s game show host!
And he did it in a voice indistinguishable from Groucho’s!
So is "walk this way." Groucho Marx.
Alan Ladd Junior was such a great guy that was responsible for green lighting many many classics. Including this masterpiece and the original Star wars.
"He's going to be very popular."
This movie...this cast...this script...this screenplay...this lighting...this production...this musical score...this acting...?
RIP Peter Boyle, Madeline Kahn, Cloris Leachman, Marty Feldman, and Gene Wilder...you are all in my memories as being part of one of the greatest comedies in the history of cinema. And to you Mel Brooks, at 96 years young? May you live long and enjoy your accomplishments!
Halloween is coming soon and I'll be ready for my tradition of watching the original 'Frankenstein', 'The Bride of Frankenstein', 'The Son of Frankenstein, and finally 'Young Frankenstein' in the coming days ahead.
"Aby...Aby normal."
When i was in primary school in the 90s, I remember that one day, i pretend to be seek, and skip school, i remember that day was perfect, i watched in bed, Young Frankenstein 2 times, in the middle i watched Labyrinth from David Bowie... such a perfect day.... one of the most beloved films, thanks gene and mel and all the team that create this masterpiece! Big Hug from BsAs Argentina :)
it really dont get any better than this movie i watch it every time i can when i can pure genius all the way round
Releasing this film around Christmas is the cherry on top!
I saw this when my almost 50 yr old son was an infant. One of the last good times I had with my X.
So great to watch this video and feel like you are on the Young Frankenstein set with Gine Wilder and the whole crew. And the budget of only 2.3 million tells me that more money properly makes todays Hollywood movies worse not better.
20th Century Fox gave them a budget of 3 million.
Brooks/Wilder enough said.
I'M A LITTLE LATE TO THE PARTY WITH COMMENTING ON THIS VIDEO BUT THANK YOU FOR POSTING IT!! IT WAS A WONDERFUL, ENTERTAINING LOOK AT THE MAKING OF YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN FROM CONCEPT TO FINISHED PRODUCT!!
ONE OF MY FAVORITE FILMS AND PROBABLY ONE OF THE FUNNIEST FILMS OF ALL TIME!!
RIP GENE WILDER AND THE REST OF THAT CAST AND CREW THAT ARE NO LONGER WITH US!!
Thank you. I appreciate it. Here is another documentary on YF: czcams.com/video/zzTvsZ-Gx7M/video.html
absolutely hilarious film with a stupendous cast and Gene Wilder = greatest American actor of all time for me and Gene loved Ronnie Barker who is probably my favourite English actor of all time !!
Loved this parody /spoof of this beloved classic! Found out years later that Mary E Stonecraft who created Frankenstein was originally Titled " A Modern Prometheus ". I also read that she and her friends were sitting inside her house going around telling Ghost Stories to pass the timeI ; it was a dark and stormy day ! Whatever she did was the stuff of legend- movies and even cartoons ! The only thing that disappoints meknow is they never went further with a sequel ! Then again why mess with the original film. Still cracks me up with laughter !
Look more into it. That group of friends was a constant orgy. The sky has been messed up due to a volcano a few years before so everyone had to stay inside all the time. In between the sex romp they did the ghost story thing.
May you rest easy king Wilder🕊
Both Gene Wilder and Mel Brooks admitted that they were scared of the Universal horror films when they were kids, which Mel Brooks suggested was the seeds to how their horror comedy film was sown.
The comedic talent of "Young Frankenstein" - Mel Brooks and Gene Wilder's comedic writing and directing genius, as well as their acting, who along with Madeline Khan, Marty Feldman, Cloris Leachman, Pete Boyle, Teri Garr, etc, is without equal. Why ? because of the talented comedic actors are not trying to be funny, they are naturally funny in their gestures, their delivery, their expressions, their persons, their artistic skill and timing, their masterful professionalism in taking direction from the master of comedy movie making Mel Brooks and Gene Wilder, who naturally do what most of cannot do, make us laugh out loud, make us smile.
My favorite comedic actrress in Young Frankenstein is Madeline Khan. She had such an air of natural comedic funniness about her - her accent, her delivery, her persona, her personality that permeates throughout every scene she does. She made the movie thousand times funnier than it would have been without her, and with all the other awesome the comedic talent around her - Brooks, Wilder, Feldman, Boyle, Leachman, etc, it's pure magic.
With Madeline Khan's death, it literally means the world far less funny that was.
There's nothing I can say to pay tribute to all the great comedic talent that made Young Frankenstein that hasn't already been said.
Thank You and God Bless You Mel Brooks, to those who have since passed away - Gene Wilder, Madeline Khan, your gift of joy and laughter magic will always be in our hearts - RIP
I had the biggest crush since I was 12 in the 70s. Loved the hair, oversized eyes, and all.😁
Absolutely brilliant 👏 👌
No kidding Teri Garr is the sexiest actress in cinematic history just for that 1 role, so gorgeous yet really endearing and adorable
For sure about Gene Hackman! He was great!!
"A blind man and a mute..... an incredibly BIG mute." 😂😂😂
One of the funniest movies of all time. Seen it 50 times since the early 80s and I can’t stop laughing from the moment the thing begins.
28:18 You may remember that in _To Be Or Not To Be_ the cast took curtain calls during end credits.
Mel should adapt that one to stage. That film is an emotional roller coaster, even by Mel's standards.
If there was a heaven, I'd wish Gene & Gilda their rightful place. xx
Thank you Mr Wilder. I’ve loved from childhood to adulthood. There will never be another …
My favourite movie ❤️❤️❤️❤️
4/14/2022
One best movie ever!
And I love this behind the scenes talks!!!
Wow I didnt know or dont remember that it was Gene Hackman who played the blind man. Genuinely surprised by that.
I remember the first time I saw this film. We didn't know anything about it, and were expecting a remake of the original, but more polished. Five minutes into it, we were laughing out loud, along with the rest of the audience. I remember that my stomach actually hurt from laughing so hard by the end of it. It's a treasure of a film.
Best Comedy Ever‼️
A,classic! Makes, you 😊 GLAD, to.be alive!
WHAT HUMP?
I will never forget my best friend in 10th grade saying "you gotta watch young Frankenstein! It's hilarious!" And I remember when it first started thinking "black and WHITE?! OH NO, this is gonna SUCK!" and about 30 minutes in I realized that you didn't even notice it! In fact, by the end of the film I had totally forgotten about the b & w. To this day it almost seems like it was in color in my memory and it was for sure the perfect way to make that movie. It HAD to be black and white, period. Love this movie and Mel and Gene and everything between :)
I really miss Gene Wilder such a genuine human being God bless you in heaven 🙏❤️🙏❤️🙏❤️🙏❤️
you never really know somebody you don't live with. even then? but there's something about Gene Wilder that anytime I've heard him speak or interviewed he seems to be a genuinely sweet, kind and gentle man.
UNA JOYA DEL CINE, GRACIAS POR SIEMPRE A GENE Y MEL!!
Terry Gar was such a babe
*Garr
Terry Garr was my 23 year old crush.
Frankly (no pun intended) I always thought the novel Frankenstein was and is the best of them all. The novel was alot scarier than any of the films were. It's interesting that Young Frankenstein actually had scenes where the characters quote actual lines from the novel. Abbott and Costello did a Frankenstein comedy but it wasn't a parody being the monster characters were played straight.
Ce film est génial. Merci à tous ceux qui y ont participé. ❤️
I’ve always felt Life of Brian and Young Frankenstein are the 2 best comedy films ever made.
When the planets align, this is the result, one-hundred percent! 👍
One of my favorite movies 💜💜💜💜💜
Final budget: $ 2,800,000
Final Box office: $86,200,000
*Profit: $83,400,000*
Columbia, YOU GET NOTHING!!!!
You know that movie Young Frankenstein? Scared the hell out of me.
“How about I play Police Chief Wiggum and you play Carl Reiner? I HATE Carl Reiner!!!”
I wish they would put this on Tubi or Pluto TV love to see again ❤
at 16:35 if like me you're wondering what's been said as the close caption says "strict fan's garage" it's Kenneth Strickfaden's garage.
Kenneth Strickfaden (May 23, 1896 - February 29, 1984) was an electrician, film set designer, and electrical special effects creator. Beginning with his effects on Frankenstein (1931) he became Hollywood's preeminent electrical special effects expert. He created the science fiction apparatus in more than 100 motion picture films and television programs, from the Frankenstein films to The Wizard of Oz and The Mask of Fu Manchu to television's The Munsters, and his final work, Young Frankenstein (1974). (wikipedia)
A little late, but always good to recognize genius.
Todos absolutamente todos hacen lo suyo genialmente brillante!, Gracias.
Love Mel and Gene and all the cast of this movie.
Madeline brought just a little bit of Eunice Burns to her part
Pure genius with all who were involved. Fabulous ❤
My favorite scene is the whatever I say, no matter what I do, not open this door lol
Excellent
Young Frankenstein came out 40 years after bride of Frankenstein. Young Frankenstein came out almost 50 years ago.
like all mel brooks movies i assumed Young Frankenstein was mel's idea. i never knew it was Gene's baby. thank you for this Gene and all you gave us.
Young Frankenstein Movie Documentary (with Mel Brooks)
czcams.com/video/zzTvsZ-Gx7M/video.html
Gene wilder said that he thought up "young Frankenstein " but it wasn't the first time that it was said, in the original movie, they said it. "Young Frankenstein "
Without Young Frankenstein we'd have no Mean Streets, The Conversation, McCabe, Apocalypse Now, Eraserhead, Blue Velvet, Black Beauty or Clockwork Orange.
That's just for starters!
I don't know about the others, but Clockwork Orange was released about two or three years before Young Frankenstein. It was 1972. Young Frankenstein was late 1974.
A good documentary, definitely without any footage!!!
Comic genius. Young Frankenstein is hilarious. Gene Wilder was even great in the criminally overlooked Haunted Honeymoon.
❤1 of my favourites haha
Lol I just watched a clip where Mel tells a totally different story of how the movie (actors plus himself) formed. I think Ill go with Genes version. Only bit they both had the same tho was that it was Genes idea.
Good questions here. I wish there were more interviews with Peter
Blazing saddles and young Frankenstein!!!😂😂😂😂😂😂
ah sweet mystery of life
