Blazing Saddles Mel Brooks | USA | 1974 | 93mins
1200 | THE EVERYMAN Definitely a contender for one of the least tasteful movies of all time is this comedy masterpiece of Mel Brooks. The nonsensical plot – tangled, shaky and silly – doesn’t matter here. What does is the opportunity to see on the big screen, for the first time for many, the late great Gene Wilder in one of his most accomplished and polished comedy roles; Harvey Korman as Hedley Lamarr (*not* ‘Hedi’); Brooks himself chewing the scenery as Governor William J Lepetomane; Madeline Kahn as the Marlene Dietrich-esque Lili von Shtupp; Mongol knocking out a horse; and, of course, that baked beans scene. The low comedy masterpiece with everything, there’s even a pie fight. Courtesy of Park Circus
