Secrets behind the scenes of Blazing Saddles

[post_page_title]Striking a deal[/post_page_title]

Gene Wilder and Mel Brooks were one helluva pair, and the two actors worked tirelessly over the 1970s to produce and star in epic new movies.

Striking a deal

The pair first associated with each other on The Producers, before Brooks asked him to return to his movie set and take on a role in Blazing Saddles. Gene agreed to work for him once more, but only on the condition that Mel would help him produce a movie he had written himself. This deal ultimately paid off, as Young Frankenstein became a box office hit.
