For those that do not know, Madeline Kahn was operatically trained vocally - so she had quite an amazing vocal talent! She very rarely showed it off, but you can find it in nearly all her movies! What an amazing woman.
God I love her so much, what a great comic actress, and then I get so sad to think she's dead. It's not fair, this whole 'life' thing. She died too young, and it's just not god damn fair!
@MegaDepp18 True! For talented singers deliberately to sing POORLY can be incredibly difficult! I think this schtick though is completely a Masterpiece of comedic acting. The parodies are going on in a lot of ways at once, and yep, Madeline dishin' it all up deadpan. I didn't praticularly like the movie, and have never much cared for Mel Brooks (ho hum, bores me,) but this is brilliant. *Also her "Marlene Deutschland" schtick with Gilda Radner: Bwight wights make my wegs wook white.
@Marchant2 Flashing lights, jerky camera work, horrible splicing-editing and a sound track to blast you into the 4th millenium. You're absolutely correct, it's always attempting to make up for what they do not have: worthwhile story, script, characters and even Actors. For a society that places such emphasis on "entertainers" and lavishing them with money, glitz and fame, I find virutally all film actors in the last 30 years and more utterly laughable. One thing lacking, TALENT.
Today is Madeline Kahn's birthday. She would have been 69 years old today. Still one of the funniest ladies ever. This was my first exposure to Ms. Kahn as Lili Von Shtupp in Mel Brooks' "Blazing Saddles."
that little thing where she misses the post with her hand...i can never tell if she did that on purpose or if that was just added in because it was funny
@TheEpona92 who knows?, For me it's almost more Dietrich than Dietrich herself. That moment made me laugh when I first saw the movie in 1974, and still does now, 38 years later.
Haha I love her! This movie is funny to! At 0:49 ... made me laugh its what I do in choir all the time...

It takes an amazing actress/singer to make it sound like she can not carry a tune. She's incredible.

This is when movies had to rely on the talent of their actors and writers in order to entertain.
Nowadays we have special effects to compensate for the trite story lines and pre-packaged acting.

the audition for Madeline required her to show her legs.
The best casting decision in my opinion.

Too bad this cuts off before the end, because when they carry her out a second time, she corpses just before getting off the stage.

I've never seen Blazing Saddles, but this feminist satire alone makes it one of the greatest films of its period.
