Review of The Producers (1968) by Vincerocks123 — 08 Jul 2015

A goofy madcap satire on Broadway, its very shocking that this film made Mel Brooks and Gene Wilder major favorites for the entertainment industry.

The best of all the Brooks satires, The Producers is one of the most best of its kind in terms of laugh-worthy and cringe-worthy humor as well as the Nazis.

A clever show-stealing inside look, behind the back doors of Broadway that centers on Max Bialystock (Zero Mostel) a money thirsty down and out stage production manager who prostitutes himself to extremely old women, as a last resort to still get in the money making business. When Max's new accountant the nervously unstable Leo Bloom (Gene Wilder) points out that if he can acquire investors into producing a musical project that will totally bomb, the buyer will keep the extra money right off.

So thus Leo and Max embark on a provocative and controversially hilarious mission to get back in the limelight in the most awarkwardly whimsical scam ever devised yet, prepare to laugh harder as they decide to turn a long abandoned nazi propaganda play into Broadway's next biggest production ever in NY showbiz history! with hilarious moments such as Dick Shawn's memorable "Springtime for Hitler" stint and Ulla the Swedish Secretary doing her thing, a moving quirky black comedy classic, the film is a riot of madcap fun and entertainment for family only 15 and over, no children admitted.....

A film not to be missed, it will probably be named the best comedy ever made by your favorite celebrity!

"Don't be stupid, be a smarty.
