Young Frankenstein, Victor Frankenstein's Portrait

replica movie prop

This is a replica of the portrait of Victor Frankenstein from the 1974 movie, "Young Frankenstein," starring Gene Wilder as Victor Frankenstein's grandson, Frederick.  The portrait had been seen with a stoic version of Victor Frankenstein until Frederick discovers his grandfather's notes on bestowing life on lifeless matter and realizes "IT.  COULD.  WORK!"  Then, the portrait changes with a flash of lightning and a clap of thunder to show a grinning Grandfather Victor.  Gene Wilder was also the model for Victor's portrait.
