YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN at SYMPHONY SPACE
Forget Broadway and see the original Young Frankenstein (1974) on the big screen. Among the most pitch-perfect as well as reverent of genre satires. Mel Brooks’ film is a cinematic love letter to the Universal horror series of the 1930s, filled with inimitable performances by Gene Wilder, Peter Boyle, Marty Feldman, Cloris Leachman, and Teri Garr. Thirty-five years later, we’re laughing harder than ever at this classic. Who is going to say this about Scary Movie (or any of its brethren) that many years from now?
And when were trailers this good? Featuring Brooks’ own bombastic narration.
