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.

Scottish actor Dougray Scott has been hotly tipped to replace Pierce Brosnan as James Bond. Bookies have stopped taking bets on the star of Mission: Impossible 2 to become 007, after his odds nosedived from 10/1 to 3/1. "He was always considered an outsider, but he went from 10/1 two months ago to 3/1 on Friday night, when we decided to close the book. We were quite shocked because we have always had Colin Farrell down as the favourite," a spokesman from bookmakers Ladbrokes told the... Read more
