Details: COVER FRENCH - AUDIO TRACK EN FRANCAIS ( ENGLISH AND FRENCH LANGUAGE ) The Sheriff is in Jail (Blazing Saddles) is an American film directed by Mel Brooks, released in 1974. A small town in the West, a governor and a judge unscrupulous who want to expropriate the inhabitants of the place for the benefit of a railway company, a sheriff and his alcoholic assistant. The classic ingredients that allowed Mel Brooks to achieve a delirious parody of Westerns where a storm of gags unfurl, and where puns burst.... Mel Brooks scored his first commercial hit with this raucous Western spoof starring the late Cleavon Little as the newly hired (and conspicuously black) sheriff of Rock Ridge. Sheriff Bart teams up with deputy Jim (Gene Wilder) to foil the railroad-building scheme of the nefarious Hedley Lamarr (Harvey Korman). The simple plot is just an excuse for a steady stream of gags, many of them unabashedly tasteless, that Brooks and his wacky cast pull off with side-splitting success. The humor is so juvenile and crude that you just have to surrender to it; highlights abound, from the lunkheaded Alex Karras as the ox-riding Mongo to Madeline Kahn's uproarious send-up of Marlene Dietrich as saloon songstress Lili Von Shtupp. Adding to the comedic excess is the infamous campfire scene involving a bunch of hungry cowboys, heaping servings of baked beans and, well, you get the idea. --Jeff Shannon --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
