First it was 'Gone with the Wind." Now Blazing Saddles is getting the 'social context' treatment from HBO Max, the cable network's streaming service.
It is unclear exactly when the intro was added to the 1974 comedy classic starring the late Cleavon Little and the late Gene Wilder, but it was sometime after the film premiered on the streaming service in July.
"The intro was added to ensure that the film was put into the proper social context," an HBO Max spokeswoman told The Hollywood Reporter.
But at least it wasn't removed temporarily from HBO Max's library the way Gone with the wind does, right?
