This is the standard by which all others should be judged. A classic pre-PC comedy with all the elements that became Mel Brook's trademarks.
Though some of the material is overplayed in later Brooksfilm productions, I never tire of watching this movie.
If you can find it, there is a release that has multiple additional scenes where Sheriff Bart tricks Mongo. Also look for the alternate end scene where The Governor visits the fake Rock Ridge.
I saw this in theatrical release in 1974 when I was still in high school, and I am still laughing from that experience. This movie is a "must see", bring a sense of humor and check your politically correct attitude at the door.
