Comedy (Genre)

In the past I’ve taken a general dislike to comedy Westerns, however I’m beginning to change my mind slightly. I wasn’t a huge fan of the “Support Your Local …” films, although Hardy’s Encyclopedia of Westerns rates them reasonably well. The comedy spaghetti Westerns also have a tendency to turn into unfunny farce, and John Wayne‘s more light-hearted films (e.g. McLintock) are a bit hit and miss.

However, I have enjoyed Cat Ballou, Son of Paleface and Blazing Saddles, so I think I’m beginning to soften on this in my old age.
