Fort Apache
John Ford is an actor who does not have to be introduced to anyone. He also was a star of the Cavalry Trilogy. The first part, Fort Apache, wasn’t a financial success for the production, but it certainly secured John Ford’s title of the Western star.
Blazing Saddles
Mel Brooks, the main actor and co-writer of this movie, brought new, witty humor to the genre. $2.6 million of estimated production budget turned into a $119.6 million box office, making Blazing Saddles one of the most profitable westerns ever.
