Additional InformationWhat do a down-and-out Broadway producer, his anxiety-attack-prone accountant, a go-go dancing Swedish secretary, and a Nazi playwright have in common? They're all part of Mel Brooks's wild and wacky first film, THE PRODUCERS. In this hysterical farce, rapacious but lovable producer Max Bialystock (Zero Mostel) hasn't had a hit in years and resorts to fulfilling sexually crazed little old ladies' fantasies for extra cash. But when he meets his new meek, neurotic accountant, Leo Bloom (Gene Wilder), the two accidentally come up with a plot to oversell shares in a sure-fire flop musical and make off with the profits. The plan sends the new partners-in-crime on a search for the worst play ever: SPRINGTIME FOR HITLER, written by an ex-Nazi (Kenneth Mars) whose only friends are the filthy city pigeons he keeps on his roof. <BR><BR><BR><BR><BR>Inspired, manic performances by all involved, along with Brooks's lively direction--which affectionately alludes to such MGM Golden Age musicals as SINGIN' IN THE RAIN--make THE PRODUCERS both referential and highly original as it moves along swiftly to the ultimate musical climax.

    I went into hospital and got robbed then after replacing favourite discs a carer / helper helped herself. This is one she took - let her fingers r it. I watched this and really enjoyed the extra disc. Thanks.

  • Mel Brooks' best movie!

    Zero Mostel dominates this outrageous plot with theatrical flair, ably assisted by the then unknown Gene Wilder. It may be 50 years old but Mel Brooks' script is fast and funny. Compared to the VHS version I had previously, this is longer with the bar scene restored to its proper length. Picture quality is good, especially for the opening titles, which used to be a clunky intrusion. In short, buy it!
