Mezzogiorno e mezzo di fuoco (1974) in streaming su altadefinizione Gli abitanti di Rock Ridges sono vessati da una coppia di arroganti amministratori: il giudice Hedley Lamarr e l'inetto e corrotto governatore William De Petomane. Il giudice, per speculare su alcuni terreni, non esita a modificare il tracciato della ferrovia. Ai soprusi però si oppone il nero Bart, il nuovo sceriffo, che con il suo inguaribile e contagioso ottimismo salva il paese.
Mel Brooks gioca qui una delle sue carte vincenti: quella della parodia. Il suo bersaglio è il cinema western. Ne nasce una scatenata sarabanda di trovate che si conclude negli studi cinematografici dove si sta girando il film. Particina per la band di Count Basie e memorabile mangiata di fagioli con peti finali.
