American Film

Riding herd with this month’s cover story on Western comedies, we lassoed a passel of favorite moments from CITY SLICKERS (1991), CAT BALLOU (1965) and BLAZING SADDLES (1974) along with commentary by Billy Crystal, Daniel Stern, Robin Williams, Bobby and Peter Farrelly, Mel Brooks, Cameron Diaz and Carl Reiner. It’s a blast to see the 41st (Brooks) and 42nd (Jane Fonda) AFI Life Achievement Award honorees going for the laughs in the wild, wild West.
