Fresh Air · The Making Of ‘Young Frankenstein’ · 31 Oct 2025 podcast

Otherwise, I'd say, I am Frau Blucher.

But I said, I am Frau Blucher.

The running gag in Young Frankenstein is whenever anybody says Frau Blucher, the horse is Winnie.

Mel told me a few years ago that Blucher meant glue.

I'm not sure that's true, but it sure is funny.

And then Mel came up to me, climbed up the steps and whispered in my ear.

Stay close to the candles.

The staircase can be treacherous.
