The Producers

A movie about Hitler and celebrating his name with "Springtime for Hitler" is atrocious. But the filmmakers told you up front what you were getting. And Mel Brooks delivered. Besides, Roger Ebert wrote that this was "one of the funniest movies ever made." I wouldn't go that far, but when you see the premise and the purpose and then realize how it all comes together, I can honestly say that it is pretty funny.

Having quite liked the 2005 version I thought I must watch this finally. This exceeds the other version thanks to its leads. Love a bit of satire and this is so good at it.

With the news of the day, it seems that farce such as this contrasts well with life itself. Saw this when I was a teenager, back in 1968, loved it then, loved it now. Very funny stuff

Filme mais ou menos, o roteiro é mais ou menos, o filme pode ter cenas bacanas, não tão engraçadas, só a parte de escolher o hitler é bacana, de alguns atores imitando o hitler para ganhar o papel, e quando explode o cinema e os produtores sentados no tribunal depois da explosão, um tá com braço ferido, o outro (gene wilder) está com a cabeça ferido e o terceiro está tudo ferido completamente enfaixado usando ainda um capacete está parte do cara enfaixado foi boa só isso, r foi bacaninha a peça primavera para hitler as cenas de dialogo deixam o filme fraco.

This is genuinely my favorite movie of all time. Zero Mostel and Gene Wilder are an excellent comedic team.

Amitidly it is difficult to review a comedy. Humor, after all, is a very subjective thing. Also giving respect to the time period in which the comedy was created. But I am reviewing this film in how it stands up by today's standards. If I could rip out someone else's eyes and see this movie from their point of view I would, but to me, this is pretty slow and clunky. From the first joke, you can probably tell if this is the film for you. Max Bialystock is seducing old ladies to get money for his next production. After one leaves, he then switches the photo on the table to another old lady, who comes in as the previous exits. At that point, about the 30 second mark, you get the joke. But this scene goes on for over 9 minutes of screen time. That's 10% of the runtime of the film spent on this same joke. And the joke was more awkward than it was funny. There are undoubtedly funny jokes in the movie. And the premise of producers trying to deliberately bomb a production is a hilarious idea. Gene Wilder puts in a great performance as always. But by today's standards I think the film does not hold up as well as Mel Brook's other classics. Not the train wreck the producers may have wanted, but not the masterpiece the critics claim it to be.

Pffffttt! Definitely... humor is not the same 60 years later

Mel Brooks was a kind hearted gentle person , that's a rarity in itself, but he was also an incredibly good actor

"The Producers" is a zany musical-comedy film that follows two Broadway producers attempting to stage a flop to scam investors. However, their plan takes an unexpected turn when their show, "Springtime for Hitler," becomes an unintentional hit. The movie is a riotous ride, filled with laughter, catchy tunes, and energetic choreography. The dynamic duo of leads delivers standout performances, complemented by a talented ensemble cast. Although pacing issues and a lack of consistent impact slightly hamper the overall experience, "The Producers" remains a classic that brings joy and nostalgia, making it a delightful showstopper for those seeking a dose of Broadway magic on the big screen.

It's a great concept aided by the hilarious performances of Wilder and Mostel. Perhaps one of the first films to point out that New York is almost entirely populated by insane people.
