In the movie Young Frankenstein why does a horse whinny when the name Frau Blucher is said?
From: http://german.about.com/library/blgermyth02.htm
Turns out that director Mel Brooks was just having some fun with a classic cinematic "villain" gag from old melodramas. There is no real logic for the horses' neighing, since most of the time there is no way they could even see or hear Frau Blucher or the people saying her name. Now you can just enjoy Young Frankenstein-without any dopey "glue" myth.
From: me. I'm sure years ago I saw an old Frankenstein movie where the horses whinnied every time the name Frankenstein was mentioned. I take it the pun is on that one. If I just could remember the name of that movie.
