Über diesen Film

Being a Broadway producer is probably the last refuge of the unskilled labourer, and foremost amongst this group is one Max Bialystock (ZERO MOSTEL). Max dreams fondly of those halcyon days when he was king of Broadway. Now he is King of the Flops. In only one area is the old Bialystock skill still in evidence – his uncanny ability to raise money. Enter Leo (GENE WILDER) a mild-mannered accountant who unwittingly reveals to Bialystock that given the right circumstances, a producer could make more money with a flop than with a hit. Instantly Bialystock is excited to action, dragging a reluctant Leo along with him. All they need to make the plan work is a show that will be a surefire disaster. Surely the musical ‘Springtime for Hitler’ must be just that – mustn’t it? An all-time classic, THE PRODUCERS is one of the zaniest and most memorable comedies ever made.
