The Producers (1968) starring Zero Mostel, Gene Wilder. Written and directed by Mel Brooks. Washed-up Broadway producer (Mostel) talks meek accountant (Wilder) into plot to make a fortune by putting on a play guaranteed to fail. The resulting musical, "Springtime for Hitler," is a surprise smash, placing the producers in a difficult position. From that point on, the movie is largely anticlimactic, but the funny parts still make it worth seeing. The subtitles are excellent. Grade: B+
