Watched Son of Frankenstein (1939) today. I saw Young Frankenstein way before seeing the original movie and the sequels. Much of the parody in Young Frankenstein comes from this well done movie. I particularly enjoyed the set design which looks like a combination of Art Deco and German Expressionism. According to Wikipedia, the film was to be shot in color but this idea was abandoned when the monster's makeup didn't photograph well.
