Young Frankenstein: A Mel Brooks Book
Mario Batali
Young Frankenstein was made with deep respect for the craft and history of cinema-and for the power of a good schwanzstucker joke. This picture-driven book written by one of the greatest comedy geniuses of all time takes readers inside the classic film's marvelous creation story via never-before-seen black and white and color photography from the set and contemporary interviews with the cast and crew most notably legendary writer-director Mel Brooks.
With access to more than 225 behind-the-scenes photos and production stills and with captions written by Brooks this book will also rely on interviews with gifted director of photography Gerald Hirschfeld Academy Award-winning actress Cloris Leachman and veteran producer Michael Gruskoff.
