Great 1968 Classic Comedy

Rating: 10/10 (4 July 2008)

Mel Brooks produced a great comedy with plenty of laughs about two guys named Max Bialystock, (Zero Mostel) and Leo Bloom, (Gene Wilder) who both decided to produce a Broadway Play and try to turn it into an instant flop in order to make themselves rich. Max played a con game with older women in order to swindle them of their money by having them invest in his Broadway Plays. The name of the play they produce is called 'Springtime for Hitler & Germany and they are both sure the public will never view and accept this film which glorifies Adolph Hitler. There is a very sexy dancing gal named Ulla, (Lee Meredith) who gives a great supporting role which put a spark in the eyes of Max and Leo. Estelle Winwood, ('Hold Me Touch Me') gave a great supporting role as one of the old ladies that furnished her funds to finance the Broadway Play, Estelle was a veteran comedy actress during the 1930's and 40's. If you want to laugh throughout the entire film, this is the film for you.
