THE PRODUCERS (1968)

The original Mel Brooks cinematic production—before the Broadway hit and the future cinematic release (2005) "The Producers" features the unforgettable duo of bogus theatrical producer Max Biyalistok and his whiny accountant partner, Leo Bloom.  When Max comes up with an ingenious plan to produce the worst play ever: raise more money than needed to put on the WORST Broadway show ever written, he employs Leo Bloom's help with the paperwork to cover the whole thing up.  As the two set about executing their plan, in walks the unforgettable Swedish beauty, Ula, and of course, the most ridiculous musical screenplay every written: "Springtime for Hitler."  With a title like that, no one could possibly approve of such a ludicrous vision…or could they?

The cast includes: Zero Mostel, Gene Wilder, Kenneth Mars, Dick Shawn, Lee Meredith, Christopher Hewett, Andreas Voustinas, Estelle Winwood, Renee Taylor, and Bill Hickey.

Director Mel Brooks' "The Producers" is a wild, unconventional, and hilarious comedy.
