Remembering Gene Wilder: 1933-2016 photo montage is excellent, but he should be listed as Dr. Frederick Frankenstein in Young Frankenstein, not Victor. Victor was the grandfather, Frau Blucher's boyfriend and also the original Mary Shelley character is Dr. Victor von Frankenstein.
But I was pretty sure Gene Wilder's character is named Frederick. Ygor even asks him if he pronounces his name Froderick(since he is adamant about Fronkenstein as the proper pronunciation of his surname.
I mainly wanted to say thanks for all the great pictures though. I know we will all miss that comedic genius and talented man. So many great roles, but Gene Wilder truly was Willy Wonka.

Hi Greg and Dan -
Thanks for pointing out the character name error on the images and within the montage gallery. Unfortunately, the issue is a bit complicated and there is no easy fix (this is because the way our systems work, the image is tied to the character page here with the primary name "Dr. Victor Frankenstein").
I have alerted our technical staff who will take a look as soon as they can to address the issue.

Thanks Michelle.
Thanks Michelle, I see what you mean. It was worth looking at that character page, it's really amazing how many actors have played Dr. Victor Frankenstein. I never knew Peter Cushing had played that role so many times.

Just following up here to confirm that the incorrect character name has been removed from the images on "Young Frankenstein". Unfortunately, due to technical limitations we can't manually add "Dr. Frederick Frankenstein" as a character name, but at least the incorrect name has been removed in the meantime.

Thanks Michelle.

Thanks for the reply. I looked at the Gene Wilder page on IMDb and all the photos of him in Young Frankenstein are labeled as Dr. Victor Frankenstein. I haven't had a response from the staff here. Is there anything else to be done for accuracy's sake? Should I post another comment?
I really love Young Frankenstein too. Gotta say I don't like cake all that much, but I've recently been having a craving for some Schwarzwald Kirchetort...
