Story Synopsis:
A wild parody of old Frankenstein pictures based on Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley’s novel, Mel Brooks’ Young Frankenstein stars the comedic talents of Gene Wilder as the mad doctor, Peter Boyle as the monster, Marty Feldman as the hunchback assistant and Cloris Leachman as the mad housekeeper. A classic story with a hilarious twist, Gene Wilder and Mel Brooks’ screenplay received an Oscar® nomination. A must-have for Mel Brooks fans.
LaserDisc Picture:
The black and white picture is matted at 1.85:1 and features an excellent grayscale with deep blacks. Shadow detail and contrast is excellent and images are generally sharp and detailed. There is virtually no noise, but some major artifacts are apparent.
LaserDisc Soundtrack:
The soundtrack is undistinguished monaural that sounds compressed.
