Young Frankenstein is an American feature film of the comedy spoof and horror/sci-fi genres. It was written and directed by Mel Brooks with a screenplay co-written by leading actor Gene Wilder. It was produced by Crossbow Productions and distributed through 20th Century Fox. It premiered in the United States on December 15th, 1974. The movie stars Gene Wilder as the wildly eccentric Frederick Frankenstein - a descendant of the infamous Frankenstein family, who is desperate to distance himself from his family's notorious past. Co-starring with Wilder is Peter Boyle as the monster - the end result of Frederick giving in and accepting his destiny that he is in fact, a Frankenstein. The movie also stars Teri Garr as his humble Swedish assistant, Inga, Cloris Leachman as the dry housekeeper Frau Blücher, Madeline Kahn as Frederick's actress/lover Elizabeth, and Marty Feldman as the zany hunchback assistant Igor (or as he prefers it, "Eye-Gor").
