acting, Young Frankenstein has aged amazingly well.....Dialog is clear, John Morris' thematically appropriate score is well presented....much better than the SD scenes but is a bit clearer.....there are many memorable lines and performances that have been engrained in our cultural memory.....Partly due to parodying a genre that was already decades old but mainly because of solid comedic writing.... ...

Young Frankenstein" is simply one of the great comedies. The cast and talent goes beyond Brooks and Wilder with "Young Frankenstein. Teri Garr was a sight to see in 1974 and is very nicely cast as the sexy lab assistant. ... Full Review

The photo galleries and outtakes from the film take us back to 1974 as the film is created to see not only how much fun the movie is but how much fun was had in making the film. The collection of behind the scenes and making of featurrettes are fantastic to watch as this classic film is created. ... Full Review
