Synopsis: Young Frankenstein (1974)
Synopis: An affectionate parody that pays homage to the FRANKENSTEIN films (from the novel FRANKENSTEIN by Mary Shelley) directed by James Whale in the 1930s, YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN is both a zany comedy and a cinematic tour de force. Written by director Mel Brooks and the film's star, Gene Wilder, YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN has all the usual--and in this case slightly unusual--suspects: the reluctant scientist Frederick Frankenstein, who is actually the grandson of the infamous creature-creator (pronounced "Fronken-steen" and played by Wilder), his spoiled fiancée (Madeline Kahn), Igor the pop-eyed hunchback (Marty Feldman), his dizzy assistant (Teri Garr), the castle's hideous head housekeeper (Cloris Leachman), and, of course, the Monster (Peter Boyle). Highlights include the sets, which are the original ones used in the Whale films; the beautiful black-and-white cinematography; and the fine screenplay. Combining noirish elegance with uproarious sight gags and double entendres is a feat Brooks pulls off fabulously, directing the wonderful ensemble to act with sensitivity and humanistic feelings as well as with lunatic abandon. YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN is a treat from beginning to end.Features: Young Frankenstein (1974)

Cons: None, I think
This is just a clasic movie, A must have for any movie collector. Dry humor and sexual suggestion are around every bend.
"Fancy a roll in the hay, Doctor?"
"Why yes that would be lovely"
"Roll, roll, roll."

Pros: Great extras, commentary, digitalized
Cons: Nothing
I grew up on this movie and there is no bad thing to be said. All the actors were in ther prime and the casting is perfect; timing is everything. It may be a bit on the raunchy side for younger viewers if they are unfamiliar with the Frankenstein history and Mary Shelley. However, that should not deter a genuine interest. Many comedic one-liners make this a true gem. Dialogue has spunk and I respect the effort that it took to get this film made. ...
