Blazing Saddles (7-Feb-1974)
Director: Mel Brooks Writers: Mel Brooks; Norman Steinberg; Andrew Bergman; Richard Pryor; Alan Uger Music Composed and Conducted by: John Morris Producer: Michael Hertzberg Keywords: Western/Comedy, Spoof A scheming politician has the town of Rock Ridge's sheriff killed and appoints a black replacement, expecting that the townspeople will leave and he can take their land before a railroad lays track through the town. The plot is unimportant; what shines here is the edgy lowbrow humor which permeates throughout. Received three Oscar nominations, including Madeline Kahn for Best Supporting Actress.
