Blazing Saddles is a 1974 Western spoof from director Mel Brooks starring Gene Wilder, Slim Pickens, Madeline Kahn, Harvey Korman and Cleavon Little. In order to ruin a western town and steal their land, a corrupt politician Hedley Lamarr (Harvey Korman) appoints Bart as sheriff (Cleavon Little). Sheriff Bart, and his deputy, the Waco Kid (Gene Wilder) promptly become formidable adversaries. Blazing Saddles was a huge box-office hit and the highest grossing Western at that time.
Chief Curator Andrew Patrick Nelson will introduce the film and lead a post-screening discussion with the audience.
