Design & Features: Black-and-white comedic artwork typical of early Warner Bros. daybill runs, featuring Cleavon Little and Gene Wilder in full cowboy gear above a chaotic montage scene. Includes bold typography, playful “See the Great Pie Fight!” and “See the Super Absurd Bean Scene!” teaser stars, and large “HILARIOUS!” headline in 1970s typeface. Rated “M” for mature audiences.

Collectors’ Note: One of the most famous comedy Westerns ever made, Blazing Saddles daybills are a cornerstone of 1970s cinema poster collecting. Australian versions are prized for their clean monochrome layout, which differs from the full-colour US one-sheet design. Demand remains consistently strong among Mel Brooks fans and collectors of cult or comedy cinema. A well-kept VG example such as this would attract both local and international buyers, particularly if displayed unbacked and unfolded.
