Young Frankenstein (1974) Review
Young Frankenstein is one of the great American comedies and the highest achievement in Mel Brooks's filmography. Mel Brooks directed and cowrote the screenplay with Gene Wilder.
Actor: Madeline Kahn
Madeline Kahn was nominated twice, for Paper Moon and Blazing Saddles, the second parodying Marlene Dietrich in a song she performs deliberately off-key. She was a trained opera singer and used the technique for comedy throughout. Clue and Young Frankenstein fill out the range, and she won a Tony shortly before her death in 1999.
