Hippodrome Theatre · 25 SE 2nd Pl, Gainesville
The HippCinema celebrates Mel Brooks and his centenarian milestone! Comedies, comedies, and more comedies. Get into the spirit of uproarious laughter inspired by our mainstage production You Can't Take It With You. The first film screening in our festival is Young Frankenstein. Respected medical lecturer Dr. Frederick Frankenstein (Gene Wilder) 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 (Marty Feldman), Inga (Teri Garr) and the fearsome Frau Blücher (Cloris Leachman). After he creates his own monster (Peter Boyle), new complications ensue with the arrival of the doctor's fiancée, Elizabeth (Madeline Kahn).
