In reply to the discussion: Blazing Saddles was released in theaters on this day in 1974! What's the first thing that comes to mind when you think [View all]TomSlick
(12,577 posts)41. I was in high school when Blazing Saddles was released. A friend and I went to see it at the local small town theater.
There is a scene in which Hedley Lamarr is engaged in a monologue. All the while he is fondling a female statuette. My friend and I were howling with laughter and the rest of the audience had no idea why.
