Blazing Saddles
Burbank, CA: Warner Brothers, Circa 1974. Vintage borderless studio still photograph, with bottom margin, of Mel Brooks and producer Martin Hertzberg on the set of the 1974 film.
Director Mel Brooks' slapstick homage to the Western, in which an escaped African American railroad construction worker becomes the sheriff in an all-white town, and must protect it from politicians and railroad tycoons looking to raze it. A witty satire on the racism often inherent in Hollywood's depiction of the American West, among many other targets. Nominated for three Academy Awards.
Set in the fictional frontier town of Rock Ridge, shot on location in California.
7.5 x 10 inches. Near Fine.
National Film Registry.
