    After the movie I've done my research and Igor was played by Marty Feldman. Due to a condition and several operations, his eyes truly ended up having the appearance we see in the movie. Instead of letting that affect him, he embraced it and knew that he would stand out from the crowd. He has been happily married, had a great career in everything he pursued, but sadly died at the age of 48, in 1982. the role of Igor was based on Marty, according to Mel Brooks, and there have been many improvisations during the production of this film, which I think made the it even better. This is proof that we should never let anything bring us down, we are fine the way we are. Love yourself, respect yourself, and good will come from it

    For Duaffy & others - because the classics "Frankenstein, Bride of, and Son of" are SO old (80-90 years ago), you don't see some of what makes Young Frankenstein so special. There are many "inside jokes"...referring to scenes in those 3 old classics. For example, the scene with the blind man & the monster was actually a very sweet, touching scene in "Bride"...the character of the guy with the wooden arm was a joke referring to "Son of"...his arm was ripped off by the monster. Many, many more. For those of us old enough, Young Frankenstein was not only VERY funny, but also a great homage to those old classics.

    @@RetroRobotRadio - Yeah, the line before they rob the grave when the Dr. tells Igor "Get down you fool!" is the very first line in the original Frankenstein film, just before the opening grave robbing scene. And the scene in the theater showing the monster to the audience is right out of "King Kong", as well. While I think "Blazing Saddles" is Mel Brooks' masterpiece, this is my favorite of his films. I grew up watching all the Universal monster films so it was heaven for me, and the attention to detail in the sets, etc., was amazing. I was already a big fan of both Gene Wilder and Marty Feldman. While primarly known in the UK, ABC ran a sketch show of Marty's several years before this film came out, which featured an opening credits scene created by Terry Gilliam.

    Fun fact: All the set decorations & props in the lab are the *actual* ones from the 1931 "Frankenstein." Yep, those are Marty Feldman's actual eyes. He was a comedian/actor in the 60s-80s. They speak German because in the 1931, Frankenstein's castle is located in the Bavarian Alps. But by the time the 70s rolled around, "Transylvania" was the go-to location to set a monster movie. And since Brooks was parodying the 30s movie...his characters speak with German accents (including so strong an accent with the inspector, even the other "Germans" can't understand him). Her hair is a parody of the hair in "The Bride of Frankenstein." No, it's not explained how it magically changed...

    Marty Feldman is a class act. From loveable characters like I-gore (he didn't hit the horses, just whipped over their heads) to his work along side the Pythons before and even after they had done Flying Circus. And yes, those wide, wild, lazy eyes are what he was born with, and used them frequently with his humor, and acting.

That can cause the horse to bolt or rear up. Plus, there are two horses, and you don't want one starting before the other, and you could not strike both at once. The crack of the whip, the sound, was all that was needed to signal the horses to go. Last, if you did hit anything, the whip won't crack.

    Dracula and Frankenstein books are great stories, well-written. Mary Shelley's story is also based on what scientists of the time were experimenting, using galvanism to cause dead limbs, creatures and even humans twitch and appear to be alive again. Electricity was a new phenomenon back then.

    Despite Marty's unusual appearance, he was reputed to have been quite the ladies' man before he finally settled down. As you can see, he wasn't particularly tall or conventionally handsome as we consider it today, but he was a unique person with a charisma all his own.

    Eyegor is played by a legendary actor named Marty Feldman. He suffered from a disease that made his eyes look that way. And sadly died relatively young at 48. Don't feel too guilty about laughing about the way he looked though because Feldman seemed to have a good spirit about it. And played his appearance up for laughs himself. If you want to see another black and white classic by Mel Brooks please react to The Elephant Man. It's definitely not a comedy. But there are next to no reactions to it on YT so you'd set yourself apart if you reacted to it while watching an all-time classic film that more people should see.

    When I first saw this in the 70s, I saw it as a double-bill with Blazing Saddles. It is complete genius. Marty Feldman used to be a script-writer for radio and worked with a man called Barry Took, who I met many years later after Marty's death. Barry spoke with great fondness for Marty, who he described as 'a genius', particularly with making up silly character names, like 'Lord Tantamount Horseposture' and 'Reverend Isambard Mousepractice'. On a side note, I would still run away with Terri Garr, who, when I was a young man, caused my trousers to burst into flames.

    It takes time to learn to be confident. For a few years he felt his looks hindered him being a performer. Instead he became one of the top comedy writers in Britain in the 60s. He was writing for John Cleese who invited him to perform in a TV show and he soon became a star. He was moving his hump for a few days before the others noticed and it was written in.
