In the 1974 comedy-horror film Young Frankenstein, Gene Wilder starred in the lead role as the title character. In the comedy classic, Dr. Frederick Frankenstein (pronounced "Fronk-en-steen"), the grandson of the infamous scientist, inherits his family’s Transylvanian estate. Initially skeptical, he embraces his heritage, creates a new monster with the help of Igor (Marty Feldman) and Inga (Teri Garr), and — following an escape — teaches it to be civilized.
