Young Frankenstein
106 min. | Dir. Mel Brooks | Rated PG
Gene Wilder—who built a career being both a sweet, composed gentleman and bug-eyed, raving lunatic—is perfect as the tortured Friedrich von Frankenshteen, and Marty Feldman certainly never did better. But it is the sweet-voiced Madeline Kahn who adds the vital third dimension to this comedy; a dimension that, since her untimely death, has only deepened to a softly tragic undertone. Surprisingly, such a tone does not undermine director Mel Brooks's goofy humor—it "ennobles it," as Bruce Reid might say.
