TNT Preview: Young Frankenstein

Hi folks. I apologize for another late entry but for the second time in a month, a relative had a medical emergency yesterday, so I spent the day by the phone. But let's get to our last TNT for the month of September, the 1974 comedy spoof Young Frankenstein.

Originally, the film in our TNT slot was the horror film Panic in Year Zero, but with the recent death of Gene Wilder TCM decided to make this Thursday a tribute to him with a small selection of his films. Young Frankenstein stars Gene Wilder as a young man who inherits a castle from his grandfather, the infamous Dr. Frankenstein. The younger Frankenstein decides to walk in his father and grandfather's footsteps and recreate their work, I'm guessing to varying degrees of success. Marty Feldman co-stars as the sidekick Igor alongside Teri Garr as a dim-witted assistant named Inga. Here's a trailer:



Young Frankenstein doesn't air in our regular TNT time slot; it'll be on at 9:15pm EST so I hope you'll still be able to watch it. There weren't any links to catch this online, but if you can't watch it when it airs you can find it on the TCM app until next week. As always, I hope you'll be watching with me and I'll see you soon!
