Agree on Blazing Saddles. Madeline Kahn’s ‘ I’m Tired’ never fails to crack me up. Brilliant! Doubt that it could be made today with all of the dialog. I wonder if even Brooks would be that daring now.
Even back then, Mel was really pushing the envelope.
I've always thought that only Mel could make a movie like that. Given his personal history, no one could accuse him of racism.
