	Writing In Black and White
		Little, who starred in the Broadway hit "Purlie", was also a featured performer in the film "Blazing Saddles" as well as television sitcoms such as ABC's "Temperatures Rising.") "Usually when stories are bad, fl stories on television, it's because you have white writers who are attempting to write about something they haven't experienced.
		As an actor, Cleavon Little's concern over the behind-the-scenes business of writing for television is perhaps rare.
		The problem he addresses, however, is of enormous import in analyzing the fl comic image on television and, maybe, even in determining the future direction of fl comedy in the mass media.

	The DVD Journal \| Reviews : Blazing Saddles: 30th Anniversary Special Edition
		Clevon Little stars as Bart, a fl railroad-worker who is used by villainous Hedley — "not Hedy" — Lamarr (Harvey Korman) and the buffoonish state governor (Brooks, who also appears as a Yiddish Indian Chief) in a dastardly land-snatch scheme.
		Their purpose is to so offend the little frontier town's "white, God-fearing" folk (all named Johnson) that they'll abandon the territory to the new railroad Lamarr plans to build through it.
		Occasionally a little spottiness is a reminder that we have print from 1974 here, but overall we get a first-rate restoration that delivers the goods.

		Amongst the gang of vinyl spinners are Swann (Martin Mull), Mother (Eileen Brennan), and Prince (Cleavon Little), all of whom have their own unusual persona.
		Cleavon Little is completely underused, despite having just been in hits like Greased Lightning and Blazing Saddles.
		The 5.1 track also adds a little bit of imaging, usually depending on where characters are located in the scene.The 2.0 Surround audio is pretty much the same as the 5.1, but the lack of dual rear signals takes a lot out of the crisp live performances.

	Film Comment March-April 1975
		We like Cleavon's looks and they said if you want to do the picture, it's with Cleavon." It wasn't as if they suggested someone totally wrong for the part, Cleavon has that magic blending of performer and actor that's very rare.
		And a friend of mine said, "Go to Harlem, throw a stick in the air and whoever catches it is a better player than either Goodman or Shawl" And I say, go to Italy and throw an Artflex in the air and whoever catches it is a better filmmaker than most directors in other countries.
		It's a little bit of a female fantasy to have a big dumb, almost animal lover; she's never being watched and therefore she can never be criticized, because there's no element of criticism in the sexual act with a dope.

		Once Mel Brooks' lunatic film many call it his best gets started, logic is lost in a blizzard of gags, jokes, quips, puns, howlers, growlers and outrageous assaults upon good taste or any taste at all.
		Cleavon Little as the new lawman, Gene Wilder as the wacko Waco Kid, Brooks himself as a dimwitted politico and Madeline Kahn in her Marlene Dietrich send-up that earned an Academy Award nomination all give this sagebrush saga their lunatic best.
		Taggart (Slim Pickens) supervises this operation and antagonizes fl worker Bart (Cleavon Little) when he sends him to test ground for quicksand and makes no attempt to save him.

		Mel Brooks scored his first commercial hit with this raucous Western spoof starring the late Cleavon Little as the newly hired (and conspicuously fl) sheriff of Rock Ridge.
		To my delight it turned out to be one of the freshest and most engaging comedies I've seen in ages even though it may have been released 28 years ago.
		Gene Wilder is brilliant as the Waco Kid and Cleavon Little gives a great performance as the 'fl sheriff'.

		A madcap spoof of the classic Hollywood Western, BLAZING SADDLES is also one of the most gleefully anti-P.C. films ever produced by a major studio.
		When the sheriff of a small frontier town is killed, convict Bart (Cleavon Little) is appointed the first fl sheriff of all-white Rock Ridge by the evil Hedley Lamarr (Harvey Korman), who hopes this will chase the townspeople from their homes.
		The naive Sheriff Bart soon catches on, realizing from the less than cheery welcome that the townspeople (who all seem to be named Johnson) aren't prepared for a fl sheriff and that he was never meant to succeed at all.

		The moral should be (and probably is) obvious and politically acceptable, that you should not prejudge a person by their colour, and the humour should be directed against the racists - but somehow the repeated use of "nigger" etc leaves the modern audience shocked and unable to see much humour.
		Always a little puerile, Mel Brooks attempts to make humour out of an unpleasant situation fail modern definitions of sensitivity, and I can see why this is so poorly distributed nowadays.
