Mel Brooks hand-painted glass title art plate filmed for the opening credits of his classic comedy ''Young Frankenstein''. Hand-painted title is exemplar of the 1974 film's use of stylistic elements from the original much earlier ''Frankenstein'' movies it parodied, along with its use of black and white film. Lettering reads in full, ''Directed By / Mel Brooks'', painstakingly rendered in grey paint in a calligraphy style, with additional design embellishments to the M and B. Painted pane of glass is framed between a replica black and white background depicting the hilltop estate setting in Transylvania and a sheet of protective plexiglass. Measures 33.5'' x 23.25''. Original title art has sold for up to $200,000 each before at Profiles in History for finer examples. Fine.
