BLAZING SADDLES (1974)

This classic Western satire features a town full of Johnsons looking to strike it rich á la the booming railroad industry.  Meanwhile, bad guy, Hedley Lemar, sends in his henchmen to stir up trouble.  Upon the death of the local sheriff, in walks the "first ever" black sheriff of the West.  But Sheriff Bart will have a hard time winning the support of his Anglo-Western town, especially while Lemar is still around.

The cast includes: Cleavon Little, Gene Wilder, Slim Pickens, David Huddleston, Liam Dunn, Alex Karras, John Hillerman, George Furth, Harvey Korman, Madeline Kahn, Carol Arthur, Dom DeLuise, and Robert Ridgely.

Director Mel Brooks' "Blazing Saddles" is a hilarious, if crude, classic comedy.
