Directed by Mel Brooks (Dracula:Dead and Loving It, Life Stinks, The Producers) brings a Clever, Sometimes Hilarious, Mostly Raw Spoof of the Western Flicks. Harvey Korman is Fun as Hedley Lamarr-A Politically Connected Nasty Person (Also in Two Another Roles).

Screenplay by Andrew Bergman, Mel Brooks, Richard Pryor, Norman Steinberg and Alan Uger from a Story by Bergman. The Flick also Recieve Two Oscar Nominations for Best Film Editing and Best Song. Panavision. Grade:B+.

By far, Mel Brooks all-time best!
This was definitely Mel Brook's crowning achievement. Unfortunately you could never release a movie like this today in our "politically correct" environment. Although Cleavon Little and Gene Wilder were terrific (these are common-clave people. You know, MORONS!), it is the supporting cast that truly made this the all-time classic it is today. Slim Pickens first line in the movie is unforgettable, Harvey Korman's hilarious bad guy (that's HEDLEY!), Madeline Kahn's deadpan impersonation of Marlene Dietrich, and Alex Karras as dimwitted Mongo all contribute to the nonstop hijinks. All are hilarious and each of them steals the show at some point in the film. That part where Mongo punches out the horse is a classic clip. One terrific character in the film not mentioned in other reviews here is frontier gibberish-uttering Gabby Johnson, a dead-on spoof of Gabby Hayes, who appeared in pretty much every Western film from the turn of the last century up through the Roy Rogers era. But the true gift of this film is that every kind of humor is used, from subtle situational humor to in-your-face slapstick comedy. Truly a funny movie that is appreciated by several generations today and will continue to be so in the future.
