Young Frankenstein Theatrical release poster Directed by Mel Brooks Produced by Michael Gruskoff Screenplay by Mel Brooks Gene Wilder Based on Frankenstein by Mary Shelley Starring Gene Wilder Peter Boyle Marty Feldman Cloris Leachman Teri Garr Kenneth Mars Madeline Kahn Music by John Morris Cinematography Gerald Hirschfeld Edited by John C. Howard Distributed by 20th Century Fox Release date December 15, 1974 ( 1974 - 12 - 15 ) Running time 105 minutes Country United States Language English Budget $2.78 million Box office $86.2 million Young Frankenstein is a 1974 American comedy horror film directed by Mel Brooks and starring Gene Wilder as the title character, a descendant of the infamous Dr. Victor Frankenstein, and Peter Boyle as the monster. The supporting cast includes Teri Garr, Cloris Leachman, Marty Feldman, Madeline Kahn, Kenneth Mars, Richard Haydn, and Gene Hackman. The screenplay was written by Wilder and Brooks. The film is a parody of the classic horror film genre, in particular the various film adaptations of Mary Shelley 's novel Frankenstein produced by Universal in the 1930s. Most of the lab equipment used as props was created by Kenneth Strickfaden for the 1931 film Frankenstein. To help evoke the atmosphere of the earlier films, Brooks shot the picture entirely in black and white, a rarity in the 1970s, and employed 1930s ' style opening credits and scene transitions such as iris outs, wipes, and fades to black. The film also features a period score by Brooks ' longtime composer John Morris. A critical favorite and box office smash, Young Frankenstein ranks No. 28 on Total Film magazine 's readers ' `` List of the 50 Greatest Comedy Films of All Time '', No. 56 on Bravo TV 's list of the `` 100 Funniest Movies '', and No. 13 on the American Film Institute 's list of the 100 funniest American movies. In 2003, it was deemed `` culturally, historically or aesthetically significant '' by the United States National Film Preservation Board, and selected for preservation in the Library of Congress National Film Registry. On its 40th anniversary, Brooks considered it by far his finest ( although not his funniest ) film as a writer - director.

He becomes exasperated when anyone brings up the subject of his grandfather Victor Frankenstein, the infamous mad scientist ; to dissociate himself from his forebear, Frederick insists that his surname is pronounced ' Fronkensteen '. When a solicitor informs him that he has inherited his family 's estate in Transylvania after the death of his great - grandfather, the Baron Beaufort von Frankenstein, Frederick travels to Europe to inspect the property. At the Transylvania train station, he is met by a hunchbacked, bug - eyed servant named Igor, and a lovely young personal assistant named Inga. Upon arrival at the estate, Frederick meets the forbidding housekeeper Frau Blücher. After discovering the secret entrance to his grandfather 's laboratory and reading his private journals, Frederick is so captivated that he decides to resume his grandfather 's experiments in re-animating the dead. He and Igor steal the corpse of a recently executed criminal, and Frederick sets to work experimenting on the large corpse. Matters go awry when Igor is sent to steal the brain of a deceased revered historian, Hans Delbrück ; startled by his own reflection, he drops and ruins Delbrück 's brain. Taking a second brain, Igor returns with a brain labeled `` Abnormal '' which Igor mistakenly thinks is a name ( `` Abbie Normal '' ), and Frederick unknowingly transplants it into the corpse. Soon, Frederick is ready to re-animate his creature, who is eventually brought to life by electrical charges during a lightning storm. The creature takes its first halting steps, but, frightened by Igor lighting a match, he attacks Frederick and must be sedated. Meanwhile, the townspeople are uneasy at the possibility of Frederick continuing his grandfather 's work, unaware of the creature 's existence ; most concerned is Inspector Kemp, a one - eyed police official with a prosthetic arm, whose German accent is so thick that even his own countrymen can not understand him. Kemp visits the doctor and subsequently demands assurance that he will not create another monster. Upon returning to the lab, Frederick discovers Blücher setting the creature free. After she reveals the monster 's love of violin music and her own romantic relationship with Frederick 's grandfather, the creature is enraged by sparks from a thrown switch and escapes from the Frankenstein castle. While roaming the countryside, the monster has frustrating encounters with a young girl and a blind hermit. Frederick recaptures the monster and locks the two of them in a room, where he calms the monster 's homicidal tendencies with flattery and fully acknowledges his own heritage, shouting out emphatically, `` My name is Frankenstein ! ''. Frederick offers the sight of `` The Creature '' following simple commands to a theater full of illustrious guests. The demonstration continues with Frederick and the monster launching into the musical number `` Puttin ' On the Ritz ''. However, the routine ends disastrously when a stage light explodes and frightens the monster, who becomes enraged and charges into the audience, where he is captured and chained by police. Back in the laboratory, Inga attempts to comfort Frederick and they wind up sleeping together on the suspended reanimation table. The monster escapes when Frederick 's fiancée Elizabeth arrives unexpectedly for a visit, taking Elizabeth captive as he flees. Elizabeth falls in love with the creature due to his inhuman stamina and his enormous penis ( referred to as Schwanstücker or Schwanzstück ). The townspeople hunt for the monster. Desperate to get the creature back, Frederick plays the violin to lure his creation back to the castle and recaptures him. Just as the Kemp - led mob storms the laboratory, Frankenstein transfers some of his stabilizing intellect to the creature who, as a result, is able to reason with and placate the mob. Elizabeth -- with her hair styled identically to that of the female creature from the Bride of Frankenstein -- marries the now erudite and sophisticated monster, while Inga joyfully learns what her new husband Frederick got in return during the transfer procedure -- the monster 's Schwanzstücker.

Kemp 's Aide Monte Landis and Rusty Blitz as Gravediggers Anne Beesley as Little Girl Gene Hackman as Blindman Production Origins After several box office failures ( which included now - cult classics The Producers and Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory ), Gene Wilder finally hit box office success with a pivotal role in the 1972 Woody Allen film Everything You Always Wanted to Know About Sex * ( * But Were Afraid to Ask ). It was around that time that Wilder began toying around with an idea for an original story involving the grandson of Victor Frankenstein inheriting his grandfather 's mansion and his research. Wilder had played around with screenwriting earlier in his career, writing a few unmade screenplays that were, by his own admission, not very good ( the story idea of one of those early screenplays would form the basis of his 2007 novel My French Whore ). While writing his story, he was approached by his agent ( and future film mogul ) Mike Medavoy who suggested he make a film with Medavoy 's two new clients, actor Peter Boyle and comedian Marty Feldman. Wilder mentioned his Frankenstein idea, and within a few days, sent Medavoy four pages of his idea ( the entire Transylvania train station scene, which he had started writing after seeing Feldman on Dean Martin 's Comedy World ). It was Medavoy who suggested that Wilder talk to Mel Brooks about directing. Wilder had already talked to Brooks about the idea early on. After he wrote the two - page scenario, he called Brooks, who told him that it seemed like a `` cute '' idea but showed little interest. Though Wilder believed that Brooks would not direct a film that he did not conceive, he again approached Brooks a few months later, when the two of them were shooting Blazing Saddles. In a 2010 interview with Los Angeles Times, Mel Brooks discussed how the film came about : I was in the middle of shooting the last few weeks of Blazing Saddles somewhere in the Antelope Valley, and Gene Wilder and I were having a cup of coffee and he said, I have this idea that there could be another Frankenstein. I said, `` Not another ! We 've had the son of, the cousin of, the brother - in - law. We do n't need another Frankenstein. '' His idea was very simple : What if the grandson of Dr. Frankenstein wanted nothing to do with the family whatsoever. He was ashamed of those wackos. I said, `` That 's funny. '' In a 2016 interview with Creative Screenwriting, Brooks elaborated on the writing process. He recalled, Little by little, every night, Gene and I met at his bungalow at the Bel Air Hotel. We ordered a pot of Earl Grey tea coupled with a container of cream and a small kettle of brown sugar cubes. To go with it we had a pack of British digestive biscuits. And step - by - step, ever so cautiously, we proceeded on a dark narrow twisting path to the eventual screenplay in which good sense and caution are thrown out the window and madness ensues. Unlike his previous and subsequent films, Brooks did not appear onscreen as himself in Young Frankenstein, though he recorded several voice parts and portrayed a German villager in one short scene. In 2012, Brooks explained why : I was n't allowed to be in it. That was the deal Gene Wilder had. He ( said ), `` If you 're not in it, I 'll do it. '' ( Laughs. ) He ( said ), `` You have a way of breaking the fourth wall, whether you want to or not. I just want to keep it. I do n't want too much to be, you know, a wink at the audience. I love the script. '' He wrote the script with me. That was the deal. So I was n't in it, and he did it. Filming Mel Brooks wanted at least $2.3 million dedicated to the budget, whereas Columbia Pictures decided that $1.7 million had to be enough. Brooks instead went to 20th Century Fox for distribution, after they agreed to a higher budget. Fox would later sign both Wilder and Brooks to five year contracts at the studio. In one of the scenes of a village assembly, one of the authority figures says that they already know what Frankenstein is up to based on five previous experiences. On the DVD commentary track, Mel Brooks says this is a reference to the first five Universal films. In the Gene Wilder DVD interview, he says the film is based on Frankenstein ( 1931 ), Bride of Frankenstein ( 1935 ), Son of Frankenstein ( 1939 ) and The Ghost of Frankenstein ( 1942 ). Reception Young Frankenstein was a box office success upon release. The film grossed $86.2 million dollars on a $2.78 million dollar budget. Young Frankenstein received mostly positive reviews from critics and currently holds a 93 % fresh rating on Rotten Tomatoes based on 56 reviews with the consensus : `` Made with obvious affection for the original, Young Frankenstein is a riotously silly spoof featuring a fantastic performance by Gene Wilder.
