The Producers

Mel Brooks' directorial debut is one of the greatest comedies of all time and stars Zero Mostel as conniving theater producer Max Bialystock and Gene Wilder as skittish accountant Leo Bloom. Together they produce "Springtime for Hitler," a lavish stage musical which they've planned to flop so they can keep their little old lady investors' money. But should the play become a hit, the boys'll be doing all their producing in the pokey. With Lee Meredith, Dick Shawn, Kenneth Mars, Christopher Hewett. 88 min. Widescreen; Soundtrack: English; Subtitles: English; audio commentary; "making of" documentary; outtake; theatrical trailer; radio spot; more.
