The Behind the Scenes Pic of the Day is puttin’ on the Ritz!
Ahoy, squirts! Quint here with today’s Behind the Scenes Pic!
Sorry, that should be “Puuuiinn onnnaa rreeesss.” My apologies to Mr. Brooks, but that would have looked like goobledygook typed into a headline.
And I also don’t have a creature shot for you. Peter Boyle is left out, but we do have Mel Brooks and the late, great Marty Feldman for your viewing pleasure.
Young Frankenstein is one of the best spoof movies ever made and one of the best flat out comedies ever made. I saw it before I saw Frankenstein, Bride of Frankenstein and Son of Frankenstein and it still worked for me as a movie… that’s how good it is. It’s a direct spoof of those films and yet knowing some of the references only adds on to the experience. The film works as a movie first, much due to Mel Brooks working at the height of his creative output and the great Gene Wilder, who is a living legend if there ever was one.
Enjoy the shot! Click to embiggen!
If you have a behind the scenes shot you’d like to submit to this column, you can email me at quint@aintitcool.com.
It’s gonna be difficult to get away from tomorrow’s behind the scenes pic !

Back in the day, the Holy Triumvirate of celebrity chicks I wanted to bang were Olivia Newton John, Phoebe Cates, and Teri Garr. Yes indeed.

One of my favourite movies. One of the most quotable too! Cool pic by the way.
-
...still piss myself watching this...incredibly funny movie...
-
His what?
-
The only movie I know of that can make me laugh out loud just by thinking about some of its scenes and dialogue. It just keeps getting funnier and funnier the more I watch it.
-
I think it is just about time ve had one!!!
-
..is one of those few movies that could really use the Rocky Horror treatment of weekly midnight showings. There are so many quotable lines and instances for audience interaction... Definitely one of my favorite movies of any genre and I do agree with those folks who say it gets funnier with each viewing, even when you know what's coming.
-
Marty had some fish eyes shit! love this movie so much. Gene Wilder was the fucking man.
-
BLÜCHER!!!! (gesundheit)

You're a good looking fellow, do you know that? People laugh at you, people hate you, but why do they hate you? Because... they are JEALOUS! Look at that boyish face. Look at that sweet smile. Do you wanna talk about physical strength? Do you want to talk about sheer muscle? Do you want to talk about the Olympian ideal? You are a God. And listen to me, you are not evil. You... are... GOOD! This is a nice boy. This is a good boy. This is a mother's angel. And I want the world to know once and for all, and without any shame, that we love him. I'm going to teach you. I'm going to show you how to walk, how to speak, how to move, how to think. Together, you and I are going to make the GREATEST SINGLE CONTRIBUTION TO SCIENCE SINCE THE CREATION OF FIRE!!! EPIC doesn't even begin to describe this movie.

Watched Blazing Saddles recently. Unwatchable shit. Yet this rocks.
by steve
I guess Blazing Saddles was funnier when I was 12.

Love that film. Confused me as a kid because it looked like it was made in the 40's.
by Mr Nicholas
-
Blazing Saddles gets better and better, but Young Frankenstein was cool to me in the past, but it doesn't hold up too well anymore. Mel Brooks himself wasn't satisfied with the movie.
-
I thought you wanted to... No! I don't want to.... ...Gene's line delivery of that never fails to crack me up...
-
That good Sir is crazy talk. Plain and simple
-
reading all your comments and quotes. I actually think there are two kinds of human beings on this world, those who love this movie and those who don't. We are far superior, that comes without saying.
-
Once you cut out the swear words and the various racist epithets it's not just unfunny it's unintelligible.
-
Young Frankenstein" is not one of them. Comedy gold, start to finish. "It's pronounced Eye-Gore." "But they told me it was Igor." "Well they were wrong then, weren't they?

I've always assumed this was a Gene Wilder movie, not a Mel Brooks one
by SmokingRobot
Because it is the only Mel Brooks movie I've ever seen that wasn't absolutely AWFUL.
-
a) Very funny guy, very spontaneous b) overrated director c) got too much credit for Young Frankenstein d) Tried to omit the Puttin' on the Ritz scene e) His films work 10X better when he collaborates with others in writing the script. Occupation? Stand-up philosopher. What? Stand-up philosopher. I coalesce the vapors of human experience into a viable and meaningful comprehension. Oh, a *bullshit* artist! I once thought he made the funniest films until I realized his "best work" was more of a product of others efforts.

The whole *dead* hand shake thing, cleaning his nails and shit..
by welcometothepartypal
That is funny no matter where your from or what age you are. "the sheriff is a Ni*bong!!** line from Blazing Saddles. My lord how can anyone say that movie is still not funny.
-
even thought it's only one word, hackman's delivery was flawless. i say it all the time.
-
"Soitenly. You take the blonde, I'll take the one in the turban."
-
What hump? It's great that they used some of the actual sets from Frankenstein. This movie is in my top ten of favorite comedies.

Sire the ain't it cool peasants are revolting. You're right- they stink on ice!
by UltraTron
-
Classic awkwardness that ONLY wilder could do. I miss him.
-
Wilder becoming more and more indignant and unhinged when the trouble maker student snidely reminds him over and over of his mad scientist grandfather and his creepy experiments culminating with the stabbing of his own leg with the scalpel. That, and the whole reflexive vs. voluntary muscle movement demonstration with the old geezer wheeled in on the gurney that he mouths obscenities at before kneeing in the crotch. Funny stuff.
-
Candygram for Mongo, Candygram for Mongo!
-
and I just followed it down. Call it a hunch. Bad-dum Cich!
-
Never can you get enough young Frunkensteen.
-
why did he suck so bad in Blazing Saddles?
-
Gene Hackman's cameo is my favorite scene - the kindly old blind hermit who is delighted to have a visitor.
-
I was going to make espresso...

Best visual gag: Igor looking at his hand (D. Delbruck) then pointing at the brain and breaking the fourth wall

Marty Feldman was the MotherFucking Master. Taken too soon.

Well, it all depends on how much vitamin E I can get my hands on.

too bad he retired. Although I believe that's his voice in the Lowe's commercials or some chain store.

Peter Boyle, Young Frankenstein, Taxi Driver.... Everybody Loves Raymond.... WTF?
by Jeff Myers
-
I first heard of this movie in Famous Monsters of Filmland magazine. Forry Ackerman was raving about this project and that was good enough for me. Probably Brooks best film. He really had to fight though to be able to shoot in black and white.
