“Quality. many people who love this film may feel that the negative comments from others are inoffensive as this is such a funny film, I will say this. They are entitled to their opinions …even if they are wrong. This is one of the best comedies ever made.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eFirstly itu0026#39;s not just Mel Brooks as scriptwriter which seems to make a big difference to the quality of the film he produces (Yung Frankestein is co-written by Gene Wilder) but then you have a cast in fine form, especially Harvey Corman as the fantastic Hedley Lamarr (Not Hedy, Itu0026#39;s Hedley!) add to that a fantastic series of sight gags and word play, with a good dose of racism ridicule thrown in for good measure (…and they is so DUMB!)and it all makes for a brilliant mix of inspired film-making.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThere are numerous scenes of note, but the scene of the townsfolk looking at their work and Bart chasing after the bad guy still makes my skin cold as they are genuinely moving moments.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003ebest visual gag though has got to be the Wako Kid versus the goons at the railroad top drawer Much Love Mike”
