Young Frankenstein - 50th Anniversary (PG)

Join us for a special 50th anniversary special screening of Young Frankenstein. Made with obvious affection for the original, Mel Brooks' Young Frankenstein is a riotously silly spoof featuring a fantastic performance by Gene Wilder. Arrive early for a real old time treat with resident organist Wendy Hambly, playing the theatre organ before the film!

Respected medical lecturer Dr. Frederick Frankenstein learns that he has inherited his infamous grandfather's estate in Transylvania. Arriving at the castle, Dr. Frankenstein soon begins to recreate his grandfather's experiments with the help of servants Igor, Inga and the fearsome Frau Blücher. After he creates his own monster, new complications ensue with the arrival of the doctor's fiancée, Elizabeth.
