The Producers

Remake of the Mel Brooks classic in which a crooked Broadway producer co-opts a timid accountant to help him execute an outrageous scheme to stage a play that is certain to flop.

Remake of the Mel Brooks classic in which a crooked Broadway producer co-opts a timid accountant into mounting a play that is certain to flop, intending to sell out and escape to Rio. They track down the worst play in history - Springtime for Hitler, a jolly romp with Adolf and Eva Braun, turn it into a musical and recruit the most inept cast and director they can find. But will it be a sure-fire flop?
