I forgot how good the cinematography was. It's not just the black & white, it's the lighting, composition and direction that gives it the totally classic look.
Fun fact: despite Hollywood stereotype about European horror novels Frankenstein had nothing to do with Transylvania. The main part of the story takes part around Geneva, Switzerland.
It is too bad that this scene was cut. Leon Askin was perfect as Waldman as he was a great actor and I remembered him as General Burkhalter in Hogan's Heroes. And Richard Hayden was perfectly cast as Herr Falkstein. Both wonderful actors and made the scene priceless!
I'll forever remember the first time I saw YF; it played at the Odeon in Burlington, Ontario Canada on it's release. I have never to this day laughed harder than I did at the Peter Boyle, Gene Hackman blind man scene, where he pours scalding hot soup into the monsters lap - - - twice. The laughter from the sold-out crowd was deafening. Not even Brooks can make this great a movie today. Nobody can.
the blind man scene is on the of the funniest things ever. So simple as pouring the soup in his lap, breaking the mug... "I was going to make espresso!!!"
Mel Brooks life would make an amazing Biography. Between his military service, his life with Anne Bancroft, his genius in the film industry, the career success that many actors achieved thanks to him goes on and on. Somehow he has always remained humble and gracious. Are there any other Actors, Directors or Producers today like him? Maybe Judd Aptatow, but he didn't have the WW2 experience. Mel fought at the Battle of the Bulge. He has been pinned down by Sniper fire, he was a Combat Engineer in the Army tasked with defusing Land Mines. When bombarded with German propaganda while in the trenches his fellow soldiers say Mel set up a sound system and blast recordings of Al Jolson who was a Jewish celebrity to piss them off. I don't think he has an enemy in this world.
Oh I couldn't agree more I think personally Mel Brooks deserves a biopic the only question is who is going to portray this outstanding comical legend that we have known and loved for years? Another question is this movie going to be a box office success that will give Mel Brooks family a good send-off so that way the movie can honor Mel Brooks memory... When his time comes I mean.
My father was at the Battle of the Bulge, small world. Young Frankenstein is my favorite comedy. Everytime you see it, you see something different. I love it. Brilliant
As a youth, I saw this movie in theaters many more times than absolutely any other. Little did I know that 45 years later I'd be also enjoying deleted scenes I'd never seen - on a credit-card size computer. The film would have been ruined done in color (but it's not B & W it's light selection).
I remember when the movie came out. I never laughed so hard in my life. The whole theater was cracking up at all the gag lines and jokes. They certainly dont make comedy like this anymore.
I first saw it at a drive-in theater (remember those?!) at 12 or 13 y/o and the whole car was rocking from us all laughing so hard! As was every other car - such a hilarious classic & just as funny today! But.. you'd never know it from THIS godawful & thankfully deleted scene. It does the movie no favors, & if I'd never seen the movie before, I'd never bother to as I'd assume it sucked, based on this lousy scene. 😣
I was no older than 4 or 5, when this was in the theaters. But I have a distinct memory of going to see this with my parents. It is the first movie I remember and after 45 years, it is still one of my all time favorite comedies.
One of my favorite movies, and definitely a classic in the derivative sense of the word. I am impressed as to how much the film itself looks like it is from the late 30's.
Hearing John Carradine deliver a simple that changes into something else with the "skipping" is inventively insane - just what we would expect in this movie. It prepares us for Marty Feldman's "Could be worse, could be raining".
Ralph Livingston---I do disagree W/ you. Why not put yet 1 more hysterical scene in? I happen to put this movie in my top 5, favorite movies, of all time. I have never understood keeping great movies under 3 hours long? Look at all the stuff on Cable T.V. now. There are stories that go on for many months??
@@patriciawright8786 same here Patricia! These impatient millennials types don't get the importance of silence used as a timing structure in comedy!!! Comedy is all about the timing, not screaming loudly and making controversial statements!!!
Actually this scene explains a lot. I always was confused as the father with the grandfather. I did not think this dragged at all. In fact this gives more story to the movie and makes it less of a farce (even though it is).
I feel like this deleted scene is the only deleted scene that should've been kept in the movie. It would've explained where Herr Falkstein came from and it would've explained what the will was to Frederick.
Don't you mean "Froderick von Fronkensteen"?(as he pronounced it in the movie). The one that got the laughs was Chloris Leachman's part as Frau Bluecher(whinney, whinney) Spellt normally as Blucher but with the two dots(umlaut) above the 'u' but if the umlaut can't be used, an 'e' is inserted after the letter that would otherwise have the umlaut above it.
I think the scene would have fit as the opening of the movie. It wasn't hilarious but it would explain a lot. Many movies don't start with the main characters at the beginning.
This is my 'go to' film when I want/need a damn good belly laugh. Superb cast, Wilder, Kahn, Leechman, Garr and Feldman, and not forgetting the Monster, Peter Boyle.I didn't recognize Jean Hackman as the hermit at first and had to check the end credits to confirm it. Not many films force me to put my phone on mute but this one definitely warrants no interruptions.

@JohnPaul Dixon: Then I won’t mention that u don’t know the difference between how to spell a man’s name and a woman’s name....or maybe in their respective sexes as well, JeanPaula. Geez, chill, comment was tongue in cheek.
I think it was cut for one main reason. It is that these characters never come up again, if there was a plot about them wanting to get the castle back, then sure keep it. But there isn't, so its just introducing characters that don't go anywhere. That was a lot of characters to name and show and not do nothing with.
I was 13 years old when if saw this. Frickin hilarious. I see now how beautifully made this film was. He really caught the feel of the scary old Bavarian castle........and even in a comedy, it's very important to look like a classic horror film
I remember having the novelization of the film in paperback years ago. This entire scene was included. I also recognize Richard Haydn as the lawyer's assistant. An English character actor, I knew him best as "Rogers," the butler in the first film version (1945) of Agatha Christie's classic mystery "And Then There Were None." He also voices the Caterpillar in Disney's animated feature "Alice in Wonderland" ("Whoooo Arrrrrrre Youuuuuu?")
@TarotMage: I recognize him from an old Dick Van Dyke ep. about old time radio. Good point out re: “And Then There Were None.” Besides Haydn and Leon Askin I don’t recognize any of the others in this scene, especially niece Alaine/Elaine. At first I thought it was a man in drag.
Great post but I certainly understand why it was cut as it wasn't in the pace of the rest of the movie. 7 minutes with only one or perhaps two solid jokes.
@@anonymoussources8803 Some of Mel Brookes' stuff was kinda lame. Personally, I think the guy is very overrated. He's done some good work but always goes for the cheap shots.
Yes! That Galaxy Quest deleted scene is hilarious! "Tech Sergeant Chen, you're a genius!": ua-cam.com/video/fM_IQAhvnKQ/v-deo.html I fell on the floor laughing the first time I saw that. Too bad it had to be cut. The other deleted scenes from that are fun and interesting, but that one is really funny. A scene that also makes me bust out laughing every time I see it is when they ask the Thermians, "Surely you don't think Gilligan's Island is real..." to which the Thermians solemnly respond, "Those poor, poor people..."
Oh wow, I thought I was going nuts! I distinctly remembered the "up yours" gag, but rewatching the movie and it wasn't there, and I was like, "what else would that be from??"
I thought it was really funny and you can see how this explained the first scene, but you can see how it isn't necessary. The first scene in the final version worked with no questions as to what led to it.
This deleted scene is really long so I see why it was cut, but wow, does it ever look like it's from the '40s, and it's really funny, too. Thanks for posting.
This is my all time favorite comedy. I’d never seen this scene, so thanks for posting. Wise to cut it, although it could have been trimmed to 3 min and worked.
I think the true "gag" of this scene comes after the record is flipped over. We see the relatives rejoicing at the death of their patriarch, showing their true hearts of greed, then it is taken away. That is the funny in this scene. I believe it was cut (perhaps cut prior to full editing) because this kind of humor pointed out the greed vs honor in the hearts of us.
I was a child when I first saw this movie and and a teen when I saw it later. Of course I missed so much of the verbal humor but also timing and subtle "stuff"the things that make this special. I will watch it again soon to remember the things I've forgotten. And to be convinced again the Ms. Garr truly wanted to bear my children. 'Cause she did.
Leon Askin also played Martin Luther in Steve Allen's acclaimed television project, "Meeting of Minds", as well as a Soviet Commissar in Billy Wilder's uproarious cold war send-up. "One, Two, Three", playing against the great Jimmy Cagney and the then up-and-coming Horst Bucholtz. A wonderfully talented and well-loved character actor.
They never should have cut this. I love "Young Frankenstein," but I always felt the beginning is a little threadbare and could be explained better. This wouldn't disrupt the momentum of the movie because it doesn't have any yet. I think it would work perfectly.
Pretty good, better than most comedic movies. However, you can see why they did not use it. The scene delays the protagonist Gene Wilder's entrance. It was much more effective for the guy with the glasses to give him notice at the medical school. The final cut had a zippier prologue.
It's nice to see more Young Frankenstein, but I can understand why it was cut. It's a slow scene and doesn't make any difference to the movie. We don't even see the characters later in the film.
I think I bought this film in a 3 pack anniversary pack with Blazing Saddles and Caddyshack all with extras on the DVDs... It was a good buy at Sam's Club...They were different year anniversarys but all 3 were in it. I was like, here's 3 movies with unlimited replay value classics... I scored. I could be wrong because lampoons summer vacation rings a bell too, so sorry 3 of these 4 were together.. All 4 are among my favs. What can I say, I'm getting old..lol... I will say this... I wish Mel BROOKS was a friend of mine because laughter is good for you... He is king of laughter IMO ..One guy with a great sense of humor who surrounded himself with great funny actors and actresses..,Legend...
Somewhat surprised this scene didn't make the final cut. Would not have added that much to the overall running time of the film, but regardless, fun to watch.
It was amusing... But pointless, since the disappointed non-heirs didn't factor into the rest of the film in any way. Would have violated the Checkov's Gun rule for them not to show up and cause trouble later.
I was 9 when this came out and I remember seeing this and a few other scenes that got cut later. They did a limited release and decided to edit the slow scenes.
Here's something I noticed. Baron Von Frankenstein states that his only male heir is living in America with his granddaughter Katherine. Since he doesn't mention Frederick's father, wouldn't that imply that Frederick would have his father's last name and not his mother's maiden name; especially since he wasn't too fond of being related to a "kook?" I wonder if this could've contributed to the scene being cut; they didn't want to spend the extra money to go back and do a redubbing session.
They should have an uncut version of "Young Frankenstein" where they can put all this deleted scenes. I hear they are suppose ro come down the stairs snging. I want to see ther Unrated version of this movie.
Kinda klunky - the Up Yours gag is spot on - but the set and the photography is a perfect tribute to the Universal Frankensteins of the 1930s, like the rest of the film.
@@hertzair1186 The guy playing "Heir Falstein" (Richard Haydn) played a Japanese business man and a love interest to Aunt Clara in Season 4 of "Bewitched".
Ha! That was hilarious.. I didn't expect some of that dialogue and I loved it. XD Classic Mel Brooks "Up yours.. Up yours.. Up yours.." That's when it got funny.
Makes complete sense to cut this scene. Drags too long, with little to no payoff, and everything necessary was explained when Frederick was personally notified by Falkstein...
wtglb They all were such awesome character actors on that show, all of them so perfectly cast. One of my favorites from that show was character actress Nita Talbot who played the Russian double agent: "Hogan Darlink." and John ??

I couldn't remember his first name. "Old man Carradine" I was thinking.
@@harrymills2770 You can’t mistake that voice..
One of the reasons why Young Frankenstein is such a great movie is that Brooks was smart enough to cut this scene.
you got that right, that was 7 minutes of my life that I'll never get back..
Pat Whited why?
I think I bought this film in a 3 pack anniversary pack with Blazing Saddles and Caddyshack all with extras on the DVDs... It was a good buy at Sam's Club...They were different year anniversarys but all 3 were in it. I was like, here's 3 movies with unlimited replay value classics... I scored. I could be wrong because lampoons summer vacation rings a bell too, so sorry 3 of these 4 were together.. All 4 are among my favs. What can I say, I'm getting old..lol... I will say this... I wish Mel BROOKS was a friend of mine because laughter is good for you... He is king of laughter IMO
..One guy with a great sense of humor who surrounded himself with great funny actors and actresses..,Legend...
Somewhat surprised this scene didn't make the final cut. Would not have added that much to the overall running time of the film, but regardless, fun to watch.
It was amusing... But pointless, since the disappointed non-heirs didn't factor into the rest of the film in any way. Would have violated the Checkov's Gun rule for them not to show up and cause trouble later.
I think that they should do a Young Frankenstein director's cut with all the deleted scenes added into the movie
I was 9 when this came out and I remember seeing this and a few other scenes that got cut later. They did a limited release and decided to edit the slow scenes.
General Burkulter certainly told them. Lol, I wish this hadn't been cut. Leon Askin nailed the role.
I really love Leon Askin, wish he'd been in the final cut!
Here's something I noticed. Baron Von Frankenstein states that his only male heir is living in America with his granddaughter Katherine. Since he doesn't mention Frederick's father, wouldn't that imply that Frederick would have his father's last name and not his mother's maiden name; especially since he wasn't too fond of being related to a "kook?" I wonder if this could've contributed to the scene being cut; they didn't want to spend the extra money to go back and do a redubbing session.
They should have an uncut version of "Young Frankenstein" where they can put all this deleted scenes. I hear they are suppose ro come down the stairs snging. I want to see ther Unrated version of this movie.
Randy Savage, it’s all available on a DVD version of the movie, included in the special features section.
Loved it. The old man had the last word . . . twice.
Ah General Burkhalter in Young Frankenstein.
3 minutes in and i can see why they deleted it. Finished this video and thank God they deleted it from this great movie.
General Burkhalter Its such a pleasure to se you!
Was gonna post a shout out to the general as well!
An extra unknown (to me) scene from Young Frankenstein? Thank you Mel Brooks!!! Is it my birthday?????
Good choice to edit this scene out.
I remember reading this scene! It was in the novelization of the movie! Must've read it 45 years ago! ("and not up yours, up yours, up yours...")
I saw this when it came out and for whatever reason didn’t appreciate it much. Loved Blazing Saddles though.
I enjoy these clips today...grows on ya.
clip clop, clip clop, clip clop.
Yes. I see why this was cut. Even General Burkhalter couldn't save this scene.
5:17 Up yours... Up yours... Up yours... Up yours... Up yours...
That was very funny along with "Oh Shit." xD
Leon Askin looks like he was about lose it at the end of that gag.
THE FUNNIEST PART!!!
😆
Just about to comment on that line,love Mel Brooks sense of homor.😃👍👍
Kinda klunky - the Up Yours gag is spot on - but the set and the photography is a perfect tribute to the Universal Frankensteins of the 1930s, like the rest of the film.
Yes, you're correct, especially the cinematography. It was perfect. It looked so 1930's that I was checking to see if the dialogue had been dubbed.
i must have missed this episode of Hogans Heroes
Me Meagain : “Klink! What is this man doing here!?”
@@hertzair1186 The guy playing "Heir Falstein" (Richard Haydn) played a Japanese business man and a love interest to Aunt Clara in Season 4 of "Bewitched".
This scence is actually pretty funny. With the record or Lp part.
Ha! That was hilarious.. I didn't expect some of that dialogue and I loved it. XD Classic Mel Brooks
"Up yours.. Up yours.. Up yours.." That's when it got funny.
Especially watching Leon Askin aaaaalmost loose it!
This scene deserved to be dropped.
The Executor is otherwise known as "General Burkhalter" (Leon Askin) from Hogan's Heroes.
Nope...
@@robby844 yes
@@dace938 yes to Trose or Robert? Im confused and when Hulk confused Hulk SMASH!!!!!!!!
@@dace938 oh wait I see now... I was blinded by my RAGE!!!
Yes, the General... but I’m not seeing the comments recognize the Talent Scout from... “Sound of Music” Herr Max Detweiler!!!
Yes, you're correct. He is Richard Haydn en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_Haydn
He wasn't as obvious, as he had more make-up on than the other fellow who was "hiding behind" mutton chops.
Ah yes. Didn't notice.
Said-a-give? Abby Normal? Now listen to me very carefully. What ever you do, DO NOT PUT THE CANDLE BACK!!! Slays me every time. Lol
Abby normal is the funniest line in

I wished they had left it in . Makes me laugh.

Still, a scene about 7min 18 sec too long.
I can see why this scene was deleted!
Makes complete sense to cut this scene. Drags too long, with little to no payoff, and everything necessary was explained when Frederick was personally notified by Falkstein...
General Burkehalter!
is that him? from Hogan's Heroes? LOL
I keep wanting to say Hoffshteter, another character name?
Maybe that was the small SS officer.
+The Dark Angel Yes that is him and you are right, Hoffstetter was the little Gestapo officer
wtglb They all were such awesome character actors on that show, all of them so perfectly cast. One of my favorites from that show was character actress Nita Talbot who played the Russian double agent: "Hogan Darlink." and John ?? Byner or Banner Sgt Schultz and Burkholter's sister Kathleen Freeman. good memories ^__^
+The Dark Angel Yes! I miss the TV of my youth, I don't watch much of the crap that's on today. And John Banner was Sgt Schultz.
wtglb Yesss that's the name John Baner
""I know nutttt tinggg. I saw nutt ting. Owww, Applestroodle, myyy favorite."" says to Labeu
The 60's fantasy and comedy shows were all my favorite too, mainly because of all the great talented character actors that would pop up on all the shows and guest appearances.
The guy reading the will is the actor who played General Burkhalter in Hogan's Heroes - !! (Leon Askin - thanks Wikipedia)
I'd say that cutting this scene was a fine edit
Oh, I don't know. It could be worse. It could be raining.
John Caradine was the voice!!!
Your right...I originally thought it was Orson Wells...
Sounds like Charlton Heston to me
bobbi hanson you are 100% correct
mickey mouse perhaps? he had a cold that day yknow?
That alone is enough for me to have wanted this in the film!
