About this movie

Once "King of Broadway", Max Bialystock's talent has dried up. One day when Leo Bloom, his accountant, is auditing his latest flop, Max learns that it's possible to make more money from producing flops than hits. Max persuades Leo to become his partner in the production of the biggest flop of all time : "Springtime for Hitler". They hire a bad cast and the world's worst director. All is set for Max and Leo to make a fortune.

Ratings and reviews

Great, offensive comedy classic. Only thing that bugged me was how abruptly it ended, other than that it's a fantastic film, one of Mel Brooks' finest films (although nothing beats Blazing Saddles)

THIS is the version you need to see. Forget the one with Lane and Broderick. The remake is like new coke, why ruin something that's already flawless. Amazing movie from start to end.

I used to own this, but it was stolen from me
