The Producers
For one day only, a sparkling 4K restoration of Mel Brooks's zany comedy starring Zero Mostel and Gene Wilder screens in selected cinemas to mark the film's 40th anniversary. Producer Max Bialystock (Mostel) is crestfallen when his latest theatrical endeavour flops. He retires downhearted to his office where he glumly entertains accountant Leo Bloom (Wilder), who needs to examine the company's books. A chance comment by the lonely number-cruncher sparks an ingenious plan: to secure major investment to produce the worst play ever written, to employ the worst director in Broadway history, ensure another flop and take the money and run. Aided by Swedish secretary Ulla Inga Hansen Benson Yansen Tallen Hallen Svaden Swanson (Lee Meredith), Max and Leo find the perfect script, a musical called Springtime For Hitler, A Gay Romp With Adolf And Eva In Berchesgarten, written by Nazi-loving Franz Liebkind (Kenneth Mars). The plan cannot fail: Springtime... is offensive, politically incorrect and artistically devoid of merit.
