Blazing Saddles
N.p. N.p., Circa 1974. Five vintage transparencies from the 1974 film.
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 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.
5 x 4 inches. Near Fine.
National Film Registry.
