Blazing Saddles (1974)

Best Comedy of the Century!

[6 May 1999]

Mel Brooks where are you? How come this has not been released in widescreen? Digitally remastered? Dolby sounded? All of the outakes added in (especially the "Candy gram for Mongo" series that occasionally show up on the cleaned up for regular tv version)? "Give me a HARUMPH....HARUMPH...HARUMPH! That guy didn't give me a HARUMPH..." Seriously, this is the best of the best. Yeah I have all of the Brooks classics and yes I love them all, but like your first love...Blazing Saddles.."dare I say? DARE-DARE!" Yes it is the one and only "its twue, its twue". Kudos, Mel and Thank you for pleasure and laughs for over 25 years I still get a belly laugh. If there is ever a re-make of this movie or a sequel I move that the role of Governor Le Petomane be reserved for the one man who emulates the role on a regular daily basis. He will be out of office in Y2K... "Gentlemen. Affairs of state must take precedence over affairs of state!"

This is a fantastic movie and another that seems impossible to locate. I recommend the movie as being one of Chamberlain's best. I would like to think that the man, Wallenberg, will not be forgotten. He was truly a hero and Chamberlain did an excellent portrayal.
