Blazing Saddles
1974 · 93 min · Not rated · 7.7/10 on IMDb
comedy, western
A madcap spoof of the classic Hollywood Western. When the sheriff of a small frontier town is killed, convict Bart (Cleavon Little) is appointed the first black sheriff of all-white Rock Ridge by the evil Hedley Lamarr (Harvey Korman), who hopes this will chase the townspeople from their homes. The naive Sheriff Bart soon catches on, realizing from the less than cheery welcome that the townspeople (who all seem to be named Johnson) aren't prepared for a black sheriff and that he was never meant to succeed at all. Enlisting the help of the sensitive town drunk (Gene Wilder), formerly the Waco Kid, Bart embarks on a plan to save Rock Ridge.
Director: Mel Brooks, Actors: Mel Brooks, Cleavon Little, Gene Wilder, Slim Pickens, Harvey Korman, Madeline Kahn, David Huddleston, Alex Karras, Burton Gilliam, Richard Collier
