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.
