The Producers backdrop

The Producers 1968 Directed by Mel Brooks

Hollywood Never Faced a Zanier Zero Hour!

Broadway producer Max Bialystock and his accountant, Leo Bloom, plan to make money by charming wealthy old biddies to invest in a production many times over the actual cost, and then put on a sure-fire flop, so nobody will ask for their money back – and what can be a more certain flop than a tasteless musical celebrating Hitler.
