What’s your favorite
comedy? Go ahead, make a list … a top
ten list.
If you know your
comedies, then Mel Brooks’ 1974 Blazing Saddles will be on that list
… and for many it will be right at the top!
Warner Home Video
announced this past week that a 40th anniversary edition of this comedy
satire will be released as a Blu-ray special edition on May 6.
Bonus features include
Mel Brooks’ previously prepared commentary of his film — loaded with insights
and humor — a newly prepared featurette titled “Blaze of Glory: Mel Brooks’
Wild, Wild West,” plus deleted scenes, the documentary titled “Back in the
Saddle” and the 1975 television pilot, Black Bart, starring Lou Gossett
Jr., Steve Landesberg, Millie Slavin and Gerrit Graham.
Also added to the release
calendar this week are a quartet of animated releases that will be ready for a
home entertainment rollout during the month of May.
