Yeah, I was just going to post this, having just noticed it. I'll keep it on
as I answer the day's e-mails, and perhaps offer a post or two here.

As I've posted in the past, I was never much of a fan of the movie, however,
as I like my monsters played as monsters and not comic buffoons, and despite
being a huge fan of Teri Garr, who (I must be the last to have learned) has
MS.

Hey, hey, hey! We've had this discussion before.

What makes the A&C movie so great (one of their best; "Invisible Man" is
also quite good) is the monsters were decidedly NOT played as buffoons
(except in one out-of-place scene where the Frankenstein monster recoils in
fright at seeing Lou).

Fun film all the A&C stuff is there but the monsters are played more
serious. Last time we see the WOLFMAN, funny thing wasn't he cured in
"House of Dracula"? BTW someone wrote a sequel called "Return of the
Wolfman" which takes place right after the above.
That never did make sense how Drac and Wolfey could have died from a
fall as they're immortals.

Frankenstein monster recoils in fright at seeing Lou Costello.

I found that totally believable. Nathan Lane should do the remake.

There's also LAST MAN ON EARTH. And I love the way he looks in HOUSE OF
USHER.

Naw, that was silliness; took me right out of the movie -- unlike Lou's
later line when Larry Talbot indicates he's going to turn into a wolf that
night and Lou observes, "Yeah, you and three hundred other guys!"

Ah, a line funny enough for Jeff Douglas. BFS.

YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN on CD So little Andrea Martin. So many bad songs up front. More obnoxious booklet notes: in this case-- equating two-show Brooks with Porter, etc.

YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN has only one star Typically, actors who are billed above the title are considered in the leading acting categories, while performers are featured. However, producers can campaign to go against such billing decisions, or the Tony committee itself can decide

Doc Bender, Young Frankenstein and Me Doc Bender was in town briefly and the two of us went to see "Young Frankenstein" on Tuesday night. We were able to get tickets in the third row center. There was no one in the three or four seats on either side. As for the show, I kinda liked it, with a

Young Frankenstein on Letterman Sutton Foster's song from YF sung last night on Letterman reminded me of the song that Ula sings in the Producer. Does Mel Brooks have a thing for tall leggy blondes with questionable foreign accents? Just wondering. Penny
