One of the best and probably defining movies of my generation was the brilliant version of “Young Frankenstein” with Gene Wilder, Peter Boyle, Terri Garr, Madeleine Kahn, and Marty Feldman. Even now, some almost 40 years later, my husband and I quote phrases that we remember and we chuckle.
“Franken-shteen! Not Franken-shtine!”
The one that I remember today is “Oh! Sweet Mystery of Life, at last I’ve Found you!” sung by Madeleine Kahn. I won't post it, but it is great.
Strangely, anyone of the generation before us know nothing about this gem. Nothing of Silverado, The Sting, Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid...movies we of the 1960s remember and can quote line by line.
But then, we know nothing of Stranger on a Train, Dial M for Murder, 42nd Street, Broadway Melodies....
Perspective is the issue.
