Gateway to Cinema is starting once again! This time around we’re featuring Mel Brooks’ comedic western Blazing Saddles.
Vulgar, crude, and occasionally scandalous in its racial humor, this hilarious bad-taste spoof of Westerns, co-written by Richard Pryor, features Cleavon Little as the first black sheriff of a stunned town scheduled for demolition by an encroaching railroad. Little and co-star Gene Wilder (R.I.P.) have great chemistry, and the delightful supporting cast includes Harvey Korman, Slim Pickens, and Madeline Kahn as a chanteuse modelled on Marlene Dietrich. Some of this film’s sequences, notably a gaseous bean dinner around a campfire, have become comedy classics.
