Memphis Movie Lovers: Prepare for a Delightful Evening with “Young Frankenstein”
Hey there, Memphis! If youโre in the mood for some laughter mixed with just the right amount of spooky vibes, weโve got a special treat for you. This week, the classic comedian Mel Brooks brings us his black-and-white horror-comedy classic, โYoung Frankenstein,โ and itโs getting lots of love from our local cinema aficionados. You wonโt want to miss this cinematic gem thatโs sure to warm your heart and tickle your funny bone!
A Classic That Never Gets Old
If you havenโt seen โYoung Frankenstein,โ let us fill you in. This movie first hit the silver screen in 1974, and it has since earned its place as one of the all-time great comedies. With its clever jokes, quirky characters, and a spot-on homage to the classic horror films of the 1930s, itโs no wonder that it still attracts audiences today.
The film follows the misadventures of Dr. Frederick Frankenstein, played by the hilarious Gene Wilder, a descendant of Victor Frankenstein. Frederick tries to distance himself from his family’s notorious legacy, but in true comedic fashion, he gets drawn back into the family business. With a cast that includes the brilliant Peter Boyle as the iconic monster, and Madeline Kahn providing plenty of humor, the film is a standout that plays with both fear and laughter flawlessly.
