Great film through and through

Rating: 7/10 (3 March 1999)

One of my favorite lines from "The Producers," was the one where Max Bialystock read the play about the man who turned into a giant cockaroack, and said "It's too good." How can you go wrong there? As for Roger DeBris's secretary/lover, I'd like to know if Mel Brooks named him after the Volkswagen Karman Ghia, and just changed the spelling, because until I saw this movie, whenever I heard the words "Karman Ghia," I thought of the car. Furthermore, Lorenzo St. DuBois's song "Love Power," was butchered on the soundtrack. I know it was played for laughs, but it's still a halfway decent song. I'm surprised that some band never did a remake of it. This movie IS one of the funniest of all time, and had an incredible impact on me as well. On occasions where I've visited Lincoln Center in NYC, I've had to fight the temptation to prance around the water fountain and shout "I'LL DO IT!!," at the top of my lungs. I wouldn't be surprised if other people have done things like that over there.
