UGqirha Frankenstein (Ngu Fronken- ilitye !) uthathe indawo yeqonga kwilali-iLoew's Transylvania Heights-ukwazisa isigebenga sakhe esizelwe ngokutsha kuluntu. Kwaye ngoku, manene nani manenekazi, ndininika indoda ephucukileyo nenobunewunewu malunga nedolophu. Yibethe!
Apho umqhubi ebetha iokhestra. Kwaye uFrankenstein ucula iingoma ezingapheliyo zika-Irving Berlin—
Ukuba uluhlaza okwesibhakabhaka,
Kwaye ungazi ukuba uye phi,
Kutheni ungahambi
Ihlala phi ifashoni…
Kwaye isigebenga esiqobayo ngequbuliso sijoyina ngokungathi asinamsebenzi, u-Boris Karloff okrelekrele ngo—
Puttin 'kwiRitz!
Emva koko ucofe umdaniso ngeqhina elimhlophe kunye nemisila— uyazama ukucofa umdaniso-njengoFred Astaire kwinani elikhulu, elingenamsebenzi ukusuka Isibhakabhaka Esibhakabhaka Ngo-1946. Kungumzuzu omnandi wokuhlekisa kunye nokuthumela okugqibeleleyo komculo bhanyabhanya wesilo seediliya.
Emva koko ulandelelwano luyakha kwaye luyakha xa uNks Stroman ezisa ikwayari yezilo ze-chic kwimixokelelwane yazo emhlophe kunye nemisila yokujoyina ulonwabo. I-Monster ye-tap-dancing ngokwakhe ifumana ukuzithemba! Ayisiyiyo loo nto-ulungile! Ngapha koko, sonwabile ngenxa yakhe. Uyathandana ne-showbiz! Sikwicala lakhe.
I-Monster idlalwe ngokuqaqambileyo nguShuler Henley, kwaye imbonakalo entle ayinika isohlwayo esineempawu ezibi. Nguye uyaphila! (Ngokwenene.) Kwaye ukulandelelana okuqaqambileyo kungqina oko sikwaziyo malunga noMel Brooks: Xa ekwisongo, akoyiswa (kwaye akanakunqandeka).
Inguqulelo kaNks Stroman kaPuttin 'kwiRitz iyahambelana ngqo nenyanga yakhe eyosulelayo. Uye wanyusa inani ngokongeza enye irhafu yeAstaire, iklasikhi yeBojangles yokulandelelana komdaniso waseHarlem Ixesha leSwing (Ngo-1936): I-Monster iphela-idanisa njengomphathi kukhuphiswano lweengcali nesithunzi sayo esothusayo.
NGOKUPHELELEYO ngovuyo inani elizenzekelayo ngaphandle, phi UFrankenstein oselula uhambe kakubi?
Ukuveliswa kwemveliso kude nomsebenzi ogqwesileyo kaSusan Stroman. Njenge choreographer, ubuqaqawuli bakhe be pastiche bukhanya ngexesha lika Puttin 'kwi Ritz, kodwa ifikelela kancinane kokugcwalisa okuchwayithileyo kwenye indawo. Ukujonga kwakhe ukuQengqeleka eHay kuyonwabisa. (When spirits are saggin ’/ Just jump in a wagon — music and lyrics by Mel Brooks.) Kodwa uyaziphinda ngokusebenzisa isingxobo somdaniso omtsha wokudanisa amanani amabini ahlukeneyo. Okwesibini, iTransylvania Mania, yenzelwe ukuvala isenzo sokuqala ngengxolo, kodwa ngomoya yenye yeAstaire pastiche -Ilizwekazi, ukusuka Uqhawulo mtshato ngoGay (Ngo-1934) -kwaye ithembisa kuphela ngokuhamba.
Ndiyoyika ukuba umsebenzi kaNks Stroman njengomlawuli nawo awulingani. Oko kuvalwa kokulandelelana komdlalo wokudanisa, umzekelo, wandulelwa yingoma encinci, Wamkelekile eTransylvania, nangona umboniso ufike eTransylvania imifanekiso esixhenxe ngaphambili.
Imveliso intle, njenge-facade enesitayile, kodwa isantya sesenzo sokuqala siyonqena. (Umthetho wesibini ungcono kwaye uhlekisa.) NguMnumzana Brooks kuphela onokubhala indawo yokubamba ngempama phakathi kweMonster ekhululekile kwaye iyimfama. Umkhombandlela kaNks Stroman we-farcical mayhem awuphefumlelwanga-ngokungathi ukuhleka kuya kuza ngokuzenzekelayo. (Abazinikeleyo kumdlalo bhanyabhanya banyanzelekile, behleka kwangaphambili.)
