YOUNG
FRANKENSTEIN
20th Century Fox, 1974 Legendary Performance
(Teri Garr)One of the funniest
(and most quotable) movies of all time, a finely tuned parody of old FRANKENSTEIN
pictures, scripted by Wilder and Brooks, with appropriate music (by John Morris), sets,
laboratory equipment (some of it from the 1930s), and b&w camerawork (by Gerald
Hirschfeld). Plus vivid characterizations by mad doctor Wilder, monster Boyle, hunchback
assistant Feldman, et al. Spoof of blind-man sequence from BRIDE OF FRANKENSTEIN with Gene
Hackman is uproarious.
