He notes that &#8220;for a change, Brooks remains tasteful throughout; keeps his actors under reasonable control&#8230;; maintains the picture&#8217;s tone by including only one &#8216;burlesque&#8217; interlude (Frankenstein and the Monster perform a hilarious rendition of &#8216;Puttin&#8217; on the Ritz&#8217;)&#8230;; and, while the humor is outrageous, it is subtly played&#8221;. He further points out the critical fact that &#8220;Brooks shows a knowledge and affection for both <em>Frankenstein<\/em> and the horror genre that he would not display for the western in <a href=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/?p=28158\"><em>Blazing Saddles<\/em><\/a>,&#8221; and notes that &#8220;the use of lab props from the 1931 movie, the use of black-and-white film, and an atmospheric score by John Morris contribute greatly to Brooks&#8217;s attempt to recapture the ambiance of the old Universal horror pictures&#8221;. Finally, he points out that all the actors &#8220;do justice to the clever Brooks-Wilder script&#8221;. <\/p>\n<p>I agree with Peary: <em>Young Frankenstein<\/em> remains a remarkably restrained and respectful homage to the films it&#8217;s satirizing. Fine attention is paid to recreating the overall feel and look of Universal&#8217;s classic flicks, whose fans &#8212; at least those willing to allow their beloved films to be poked fun at &#8212; will have a field day seeing scene after iconic scene tweaked for humorous effect (i.e., the Monster&#8217;s encounter with a young girl [Anne Beasley] near a well; the Monster&#8217;s not-so-comfortable encounter with a well-meaning blind hermit [Gene Hackman]; etc.). Meanwhile, the cast is indeed game throughout, with &#8220;wild-eyed&#8221; Wilder giving an appropriately impassioned performance as the conflicted Dr. Frankenstein (he fills the shoes of his classic thespian predecessors quite nicely), and Feldman wonderfully over-the-top as his wily assistant. I don&#8217;t quite agree with Peary that Brooks &#8220;remains tasteful throughout&#8221;, though I suppose the term &#8220;tasteful&#8221; is relative &#8212; and it&#8217;s definitely kept mostly in check here. In sum, this is one of a small handful of Brooks films that all film fanatics should be familiar with, and will enjoy revisiting from time to time. <\/p>\n<p><strong>Redeeming Qualities and Moments:
