The Producers

An early Mel Brooks classic and regarded by many as one of his best. Max Bialystock (Zero Mostel), one-time King of Broadway, now living upon the crazy whims and cash of amorous old ladies meets Leo Bloom (Gene Wilder), a neurotic accountant. Together they plan to produce the biggest theatrical flop of all time - 'Springtime for Hitler', a gay romp about Adolf and Eva - and still make a fortune. The scheme includes a hilarious combination of a zany ex-German soldier and his appalling play, the world's worst director and a guitar-playing hippie who gets the star role as Hitler. The play is terrible - it's immediate failure is guaranteed, or is it? When the curtain goes up the audience goes mad leaving Leo and Max with a very serious problem.

  Utter Chaos
  
  Oh how I laughed out loud. Zero Mostel is a comedy genius, the writing is superb and the one-liners had me cackling until I cried. If you don't get any ... read more »
