Vaudeville shtick doesn't always work for me but #YoungFrankenstein is stunning homage to old horror. #Octoblur2016 pic.twitter.com/6ycRdSbZDS

Cast sells #YoungFrankenstein when humor flattens. #GeneWilder is brilliant & #MartyFeldman is unique. #Octoblur2016 pic.twitter.com/XMIqjAXwHu

Women in #YoungFrankenstein are cream of comedy crop. #TeriGarr was major crush for me when I was kid. #Octoblur2016 pic.twitter.com/BaL4SuqjBO

And #MadelineKahn & #ClorisLeachman are perfect in #YoungFrankenstein - Brooks knew how to cast. #Octoblur2016 pic.twitter.com/LSySIOFasa
