I am interested in hearing your perspective though.

Bela is outstanding as Ygor. It's one of my favorite Lugosi performances. When he coughs on the Burgomeister- priceless! There's a lot in this film that Mel Brooks singled out for parody, masterfully. Kenneth Mars whole character is spot on.

These three films- Frankenstein, Bride and Son, make a perfect trilogy. After that, the films don't have the same quality.
