A little Mel Brooks goes a long way with me, but for those never having seen "Young Frankenstein," the casting and cinematography cannot be equaled.
The black and white images really create the atmosphere of the early Universal Frankenstein films. And the casting is perfect, especially with Cloris Leachman's scene stealing performance.
On an initial viewing it cannot be missed. But repeat viewings only get wearisome because Brooks' crass brand of humor can get tiring.
Still, "Svengoolie" is starting his show an hour early, so to be sure it will be shown uncut.
For those on their first viewing, it is the perfect post Halloween antidote, darlings!!!!!!!!!!!!!
