Ratings and reviews

Excellent music that has a sort of a 'train' sound to it. Riveting story, with romance, action, adventure, suspense, and a bit of comedy all mixed in. Never a dull moment. Google play has the 4 by 3 aspect ratio version though. it was shot at a much wider 1.85.

I wonder what Mel Brooks thought of Richard Pryor. What kicked off the third act was a man who could navigate the shitbox that is left behind by scoundrels.

I have always loved this movie. Gene Wilder and Richard Pryor make such a great comedy team.
