Description of this Frankenstein Junior Poster
Frankenstein Junio is a 1974 American horror comedy film directed by Mel Brooks. The screenplay was co-written by Brooks and Gene Wilder. Wilder plays the main role, that of the title character, a descendant of the infamous Doctor Victor Frankenstein, and Peter Boyle, that of the monster. The film stars Teri Garr, Cloris Leachman, Marty Feldman, Madeline Kahn, Kenneth Mars, Richard Haydn and Gene Hackman.
The film is a parody of the classic horror film genre, particularly the various film adaptations of Mary Shelley's novel Frankenstein (1818), or The Modern Prometheus, produced by Universal Pictures in the 1930s. Mostly laboratory equipment used as props were created by Kenneth Strickfaden for the 1931 film Frankenstein. In order to evoke the atmosphere of the early films, Brooks shot the film entirely in black and white, a rarity in the 1970s, and used credits start and 1930s-style scene transitions, such as iris popouts, wipes, and fades to black. The film also features period music composed by John Morris, Brooks' longtime composer.
A critical favorite and box office success, Frankenstein Junio ranks 28th on Total Film magazine readers' "list of the 50 greatest comedy films of all time", 56th on the list of "100 Greatest Movies Bravo's Funniest Movies and #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 National Film Registry of the Library of Congress. It was later adapted by Brooks and Thomas Meehan as a musical. The film was nominated for Academy Awards for Best Sound and Best Adapted Screenplay, the latter nomination being shared with Wilder and Brooks.
On its 40th anniversary, Brooks considers this to be by far his best film (although not the funniest) as a writer and director.
