Blazing Saddles
Burbank, CA: Warner Brothers, Circa 1974. Three vintage reference photographs from the 1974 film, showing actor Count Basie on the set with Cleavon Little and Mel Brooks, respectively. Two with stamps and labels of an Amsterdam photograph agency on the versos.
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 satire on the racism and misogyny 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.
9.5 x 7 inches. Two Near Fine, one Very Good plus, with a light crease and discoloration at one corner.
National Film Registry.
