BLAZING SADDLES (1974) – AFI Movie Club

“How did he do such fantastic stunts with such little feet?” The dying words of Hedley Lamarr (Harvey Kormann) over the hand and footprints of Douglas Fairbanks in the Chinese Theatre forecourt are among the myriad, rapid fire hysterics in BLAZING SADDLES (1974), ranked by the American Film Institute at #6 among the greatest filmed comedies of all time. Co-writer, director and star (in a dual role), AFI Life Achievement Award honoree – and AFI Honorary Degree recipient – Mel Brooks has said of the film’s placement on AFI’s list, “I am so angry at the AFI! BLAZING SADDLES should be number one! And then there should be 50 spaces before the next one gets into the running!”
