Mel Brooks and Gene Wilder’s film, “Young Frankenstein,” is a masterpiece, and for our City Lights Cinema event at the Plaza Theater, the distinguished film scholar Professor Matthew Bernstein joined “City Lights” host Lois Reitzes on stage to discuss what made the movie extraordinary.

“We all know that Mel Brooks is the master of parody. It’s in his bones,” said Bernstein.

Teri Garr, who played Inga, the lab assistant to Dr. Frederick Frankenstein, died at 79 on Tuesday.
