Most amazing part of this movie is the ratta tat tat dialogue and screenplay in the first half of the movie from Mel Brooks and Gene Wilder.
It's fun to figure out which parts are Brooks and which are Wilder's though I think it is fairly easy to tell a lot of the time.
Some really classic Brooks schtick here - just incredibly smart jokes one after the other - this is a tour de force.
Things slow down just a bit as the movie gets into more Franktein and less Mel Brooks comedy but then finishes with hilarious Brooks comedy.
The cinematography and sequencing is superb.
The acting - incredible - nobody lets down - from top flight Gene Wilder to top notch Teri Garr doing a Transylvania accent, the always adorable Madeline Kahn, Peter Boyle, always good Cloris Leachman, off-the-wall Marty Feldman and perhaps best of all Gene Hackman in an uncredited role.
Look early for Danny Goldman, who went on to voice Brainy Smurf.
