Hollywood Westerns were never the same after director/co-writer Mel Brooks put them through the comedy wringer with this tasteless, hilarious spoof. Can the frontier citizens of Rock Ridge avoid the destruction of their town by hiring of Bart (Cleavon Little) as its new--and black--sheriff? With Gene Wilder as the Waco Kid, Harvey Korman as conniving AG Hedley Lamarr, Madeline Kahn as Lili Von Shtupp, and Brooks as Governor Le Petomane. With Slim Pickens, Alex Karras. 93 min. Widescreen; Soundtrack: English.
