Brooks is at his best with this hilarious spoof of the Frankenstein films, hitting every comic mark with uncanny accuracy. Wilder stars as the soon-to-be-demented doc, Dr. Frankenstein ("That's Frahnkensteen") giving an inspired comic performance. Great in supporting roles are Marty Feldman as Igor ("That's Eyegor"), the sardonic wit of the laboratory set, Madeline Kahn as the Bride of Frankenstein, and Peter Boyle as the monster. Authentic sets from the 1930's films, astounding black and white cinematography, and an atmospheric score by John Morris contribute to the sheer delight of this comedy classic.
