Gene Wilder and Mel Brooks's hilarious satire of Mary Shelley's classic Frankenstein. The grandson of Dr. Frankenstein receives his grandfather's will. The young doctor travels to Transylvania where he is greeted by his hunchback assitant Igor (Marty Feldman), and curvaceous partner (Teri Garr). He comes across step by step instructions for reanimating a dead body, creates a monster, faulted only by the fact he received a defective brain, that just wants to be loved.
