[هَـ-ђāŵĩ-ـَاوِيتم التحقق من هَـ-ђāŵĩ-ـَاوِي كعضو.]

With over 100 years of gritty and dramatic approaches to the era, the American Old West is one of the most explored in films, and Mel Brooks' Blazing Saddles remains one of the more unique 50 years later. At the time, Brooks was a rising name in the world of film, having originally made a name for himself in the world of TV by co-creating Get Smart and musicals like Shinbone Alley. While he would go on to be better known for his various parodies, Blazing Saddles proved to be a far better focus on genre satire than anything else.
