Mel Brooks made his directorial debut in this film about a sleazy Broadway producer (Zero Mostel) and a neurotic accountant (Gene Wilder) who devise a scheme to make a fortune by putting on a play that's a bomb. The title? Springtime for Hitler. Hilarity ensues throughout The Producers with the opening sex games Mostel has to play with elderly women for checks to Kenneth Mars deranged portrayal as the writer of Springtime for Hitler. This is one of those classic comedies that doesn't get old and stands as the introduction of the wit of Mel Brooks.
