The Producers (1967)
What A Film!
4 August 2004
Warning: Spoilers
I saw The Producers about a week ago and I loved it! This '68 classic by Mel Brooks (his major film if I'm not mistaken) made me laugh so hard my sides hurt. The whole thing with the Nazis, only Mel Brooks could pull that off, sheer brilliant, Brooks can not be a mere mortal! *Spoilers possible* So, this film is about a man named Max Bealistock (played by Zero Mostel) is a failing Broadway producer who depends on rich old frisky woman to give him money for sex. In short, Max hates his whole life and is constantly looking for new ways to get lots of money, and fast, So he hires an accountant named Leo Bloom (Gene Wilder). While looking though the books, he found a loophole, if the play is a flop, they can make more money. Unfortuntly, Leo said it out loud and Max could not help but go though with this brilliant but yet wrong plan.

So they go on the look out for the worst scrip ever and they find it! To quote Max "It's practically a love letter to Hitler." So they went to the residents of a one Franz Liebkind (Ken Mars) who is a major Nazi. He agrees to direct it, and they go on the look for the ideal Adolf with there super fruity casting man Roger De Bris (Christopher Hewett)and found in the stoner of the century: L.S.D. (Dick Shawn). The play is set to be a big flop, and the classic showstoping number "Springtime For Hitler" helped matters, but in a bar across the street, celebrating there big accomplishment, there met with a big surprise.

This is one of my favorite films ever! I would suggest it to anyone. Please see The Producers, you will love it!
