Blazing Saddles is one of my favorite movies of all time! So brilliant, and so funny at the same time. When the Indian speaks Yiddish as if it was his native language I almost died laughing! The movie never stops educating us about human behavior in the real world even as it finds the most incredible humor in every scene! Mel Brooks was clearly a genius, and from friends who knew him, he was clearly one of the finest comedians of his generation.
I’m grateful I came of age in the 70s and 80s, well before the mid-00s when everything changed. Mel Brooks movies would never be green-lit today. Cloris Leachman, Madeline Kahn, Gene Wilder, Harvey Korman. Mel Brooks is a Master. They all were.

I had not know about this documentary until now. It sounds great. Long live Mel Brooks, 99 years young.
Such a great comedian, such a great human being.
A MENSCH!
A great master commentarist on life and its tragedy through comedy.
