The Producers

Comedy • Comedy, Musical, PG-13, 22-Nov-1967

Mel Brook’s outrageously funny, legendary classic about down-on-his-luck producer Max Bialystock (Zero Mostel) who teams ups with timid accountant Leo Bloom (the then little-known Gene Wilder) to plan a scheme to get rich by overselling shares in a sure-fire Broadway flop. But chaos ensues when their outrageous show ‘Springtime for Hitler' becomes an unexpected hit.

    Working with cinematographer David Peat directors Murray Grigor and Patrick Higson capture Billy Connolly at his brilliant best, as the comedian employs his trademark humour and no small amount of roguish charm to navigate the political tensions of 1970s Dublin and Belfast.
