Title: "...I NEED SOME WEH...ESSSTTTT!"
Review: The genius of Madeline Kahn was that she could play the absurd with such a straight face. "BLAZING SADDLES" will be remembered as one the best comedies of the 20th century, but also, one of the singular standout comedic performances of the century will be from this film. Madeline Kahn's Lily Von Shtupp is, without a doubt, one of the best examples of how a brilliant comedic supporting performance can take on a life of its own and steal an entire movie. Kahn's Lily is a spoof of Marlene Dietrich's seemingly absurd casting in 1930's and 1940's Westerns. The whole movie is one of the best examples of Mel Brooks' trademark style---crazy chaos somehow weaving a cohesive tapestry by the end of the movie, and, somehow making perfect sense. Madeline Kahn will be missed by so many, but her brilliant work will live on (hopefully forever) in films like this...
