A comedy western directed by Mel Brooks, starring Cleavon Little and Gene Wilder.
A railroad needs to be redirected near a small town and a rich businessman wants to own that town so he can make more money from the railroad. He appoints a black sheriff, hoping that he will drive out the people of the town. The black sheriff then works together with a town drunk to try to save the town from the businessman.
I actually got the comedy in this film and enjoyed watching it. Cleavon Little (the sheriff) was also in Vanishing Point as the radio DJ. The usual film elements don't really apply when speaking of a Mel Brooks comedy, as it's more of a break from reviewing serious films. I'm rating this good because it was a short, but needed vacation.
