Blazing Saddles is a 1974 satirical Western comedy film directed by Mel Brooks. Starring Cleavon Little and Gene Wilder, the film was written by Brooks, Andrew Bergman, Richard Pryor, Norman Steinberg, and Al Uger, and was based on Bergman's story and draft.[2] The movie was nominated for three Academy Awards, and is ranked No. 6 on AFI's 100 Years... 100 Laughs list.



Brooks appears in multiple supporting roles, including Governor William J. Le Petomane, a Yiddish-speaking Indian chief and Adolf Hitler. The supporting cast also includes Slim Pickens, Alex Karras, David Huddleston, as well as Brooks regulars Dom DeLuise, Madeline Kahn, and Harvey Korman. Bandleader Count Basie has a cameo as himself.



The film satirizes the racism obscured by myth-making Hollywood accounts of the American West, with the hero being a black sheriff in a mostly white town. The film is full of deliberate anachronisms, from a jazz band in the Wild West to a rustler referring to the Wide World of Sports to Nazis and camels

JAMES C. WALLACE 11 APPEARANCES

Local Wabash Valley author James C. Wallace II, creator of the critically acclaimed Royal Magician of Oz Trilogy will be appearing at local independent bookstore, BookNation in support of his newest release, Family of Oz.




Mr. Wallace, the Royal Liaison to Princess Ozma will be appearing from 5:30-7:00pm on Friday, March 4, 2011 at BookNation Bookstore, 677 Wabash Ave to discuss his latest children's book and to autograph copies of Family of Oz, the third and final volume of the Royal Magician of Oz Trilogy.



The Royal Magician of Oz Trilogy is a 3 volume tale of magic and wonder that recalls the cherished values of family, Love, friendship, loyalty and courage. These timeless tales of Oz remind us of the value of overcoming our deepest fears and conquering the challenges that might otherwise defeat us. Volume One; Magician of Oz, Volume Two; Shadow Demon of Oz and Volume Three; Family of Oz are now available.



Currently, the Royal Liaison to Princess Ozma is completing his fourth book, which chronicles a unique tale of adventure between the Land of Oz and the World of Alice in Wonderland.



Mr. Wallace will also be in attendance by invitation to Oz-Stravaganza 2011 as a Featured Author in Author's Alley from June 3-5, 2011. Oz-Stravaganza takes place every year in June in Chittenango, NY, the birthplace of L. Frank Baum, original author of the Wonderful Wizard of Oz books. This is the longest running Oz festival in the nation and is considered the premier event in the Oz calendar

Earlier today, I sent out a press release regarding an upcoming author appearance in support of Family of Oz. In the madness of trying to accomplish that and having a toddler grandchild underfoot, I spoke about the Royal Liaison to Princess Ozma completing his fourth book, which chronicles a unique tale of adventure between the Land of Oz and the World of Alice in Wonderland.


I neglected to mention that Mr. Wallace is co-authoring said book with Ron Baxely, Jr.. That collaboration will result in the release later this year of their first venture into both Oz and Wonderland.

In addition, the new book will feature the stunning artwork of Gwendolyn Tennille Adams.

I can confirm that the new novel blending the worlds of Oz and Wonderland will blaze new ground in the world of literature. Expect great things from this new collaboration and vision.

WIZARD OF OZ PLAY OPENS IN LONDON

Audiences are following the yellow brick road over the rainbow to see Danielle Hope, winner of BBC TV's Over the Rainbow, play Dorothy at The London Palladium, the capital's home of the family musical. Here is a look at the production which began previews on February 7th and which opens tonight in London!



Andrew Lloyd Webber's new The Wizard of Oz is one of the biggest theatre events of the year, combining all the much-loved songs from the Oscar-winning movie score with new songs written with Tim Rice.





Joining Hope in the cast are Michael Crawford (Professor Marvel/The Wizard of Oz), Edward Baker-Duly (Hickory/Tin Man), David Ganly (Zeke/Cowardly Lion), Paul Keating (Hunk/Scarecrow), Emily Tierney (Glinda), and Hannah Waddingham (Miss Gulch/Wicked Witch of the West) will be joined by: Sophie Evans (Alternate Dorothy), Stephen Scott (Uncle Henry/Ensemble, first cover Professor Marvel/The Wizard of Oz), and Helen Walsh (Aunt Em/Munchkin Barrister/Ensemble).



Developed from the ever-popular 1939 MGM screenplay, The Wizard of Oz is an enchanting adaptation of the all-time classic, totally reconceived for the stage by the award-winning creative team who delighted audiences of all ages with their recent London Palladium revival of The Sound of Music. Audiences will be captivated as The London Palladium is transformed into the mythical Emerald City with breathtaking special effects and scenery to bring to life the real story of Oz.



The London Palladium, arguably the world's most famous theatre and this year celebrating its 100th birthday, is a great favourite with performers and audiences alike and has a very rich entertainment history presenting variety, pantomime and spectacular family musicals. Just one aspect of the elaborate stage design for The Wizard of Oz will be a restoration of the legendary revolving stage which everyone remembers from the finale of Television's Sunday Night at the London Palladium.



The Wizard of Oz by L Frank Baum is directed by Jeremy Sams, choreographed by Arlene Phillips, music and lyrics by Harold Arlen and E Y Harburg, with additional music and lyrics by Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice with the set and costumes designed by Robert Jones. produced by Andrew Lloyd Webber and Bill Kenwright.
