Blazing Saddles (Brooks, 1974): Prince Charles Cinema, 6.15pm
This 35mm presentation is part of the Mel Brooks season - further details here.
Chicago Reader review:
With this 1974 western spoof, Mel Brooks abandoned the sweetly sentimental tone of his first two movies, The Producers and The Twelve Chairs,
for the manic vulgarity that would become his cinematic calling card.
Cleavon Little stars as the black sheriff of a frontier town (Brooks
couldn’t sell the studio on Richard Pryor, still relatively unknown at
the time), and Gene Wilder is his ally, the Waco Kid.
JR Jones
Here (and above) is the trailer.
