Decent Saturday afternoon ride
20 September 2022
"What are you gonna do, Miss Andrews?" "Anybody I can."

Woah. How did that get past the Hays Office.

I had to stick around after hearing that line.

Turns out it's a Blazing Saddles inspiration. Warren William schemes for land rights that will make him rich, just like Harvey Korman's Hedley Lamarr. Bruce Cabot plays the name-brand sureshot Wild Bill Hick0k, a sober versionn of Gene Wilder's Waco Kid. Bennett plays the English-speaking version of Madeline Kahn's Lili Von Schtupp, complete with cabaret act and instructions to ''seduce and abandon the sheriff of Rock Ridge," so to speak.

So mix land sn@tch in with some call girls, train robbers, and a thrilling horse-and-buggy chase and you've got a decent way to waste a couple of hours on a Saturday afternoon.

Actually surprised it hasn't cropped up on TV more often. If Errol Flynn and Ann Sheridan or Alexis Smith were the leads thisthing would be in heavy rotation.
