BLAZING SADDLES
January 24, 2014  | By David Bianculli

AMC, 8:00 p.m. ET

 

In Mel Brooks’ 1974 comedy triumph of a Western spoof, Cleavon Little plays Black Bart – technically, black Bart – who, at one point, extricates himself from a mob of bigots by holding himself hostage at gunpoint. And it works. So does the rest of the movie, from its infamous campfire scene to its shatter-the-fourth-wall climax. Gene Wilder, Harvey Korman, Madeline Kahn and Brooks himself co-star.
