Movie Groupon: Blazing Saddles

Looking to fight cabin fever? Purchase this Groupon to enjoy a classic comedy at the Weinberg Center for the Arts in Frederick. Better yet, pay only $14 for two general admission tickets to the Wednesday January 25th showing of Blazing Saddles (1974), which also includes soda and either popcorn or candy.

In one of his first comedic masterpieces, director Mel Brooks creates a spoof on the classic Western genre. The local sheriff is killed by politician, Hedley Lemar (Harvey Korman) in order to pave the way for a railroad. It is then that Lemar convinces the governor to appoint the first black sheriff, Bart (Cleavon Little) who, along with outlaw Jim (Gene Wilder) gains the townspeople’s favor and opposes the destruction of the town.

Hurry up, because this Groupon will only be sold over the next two days and seating is Best Available at the time of purchase. And as this is part of the Flying Dog Brewery series, a happy hour will begin in the lobby at 6:30pm with $4 beers. The film starts at 7:30pm.
