I think it's a wonderful film. I grew up watching the great old Universal horror classics of the 30s and 40s, and I always thought that Brooks spoofed them brilliantly in "Young Frankenstein." This was one of his earliest forays into genre-based comedy (many, MANY more were to follow), and his approach still seemed fresh at the time. Terrific cast of comic actors: Gene Wilder, Marty Feldman, Terri Garr, Madeline Kahn, Peter Boyle, Kenneth Mars...etc.

Mel Brooks found a way to put humor in a horror story. Most of the material came from 'The Bride of Frankenstein" - 1935.
The only objection I had was the rape scene with the monster & Madeline Khan's character - it only reinforced the fallacy that "all women really want it whether they say so or not; and, when they get it, by force or other means, they can't get enough". (I'm a guy, btw).
Frau Bluecher's character was taken from "TBoF"; she was the screaming wife of a townsman.
The lady who played her was also the innkeeper's wife in "The Invisible Man" starring Claude Rains.

Yes, it's a great film and very funny. Plus Gene Wilder is just a little bit sexy in it, I used to have a bit of a crush on him when I was younger.

I love that movie. Gene Wilder is a scream and so is Peter Boyle.

loved it.....especially whenever the horse in the background whinnied at the mention of Frau Bluker's name and Cloris Leachman would get that look in her eye.
