Well, Mel Brooks did it: he made people laugh at Hitler.

Rating: 10/10 (19 October 2005)

Before Mel Brooks made outlandishly silly movies, he debuted with "The Producers", about Broadway promoter Max Bialystock (Zero Mostel) and accountant Leo Bloom (Gene Wilder) trying to produce a flop. They figure that they've got a real bomb on their hands when they come across "Springtime for Hitler", a glorification of the Fuhrer. But some very unforeseen events occur after they cast L.S.D. (Dick Shawn) as Adolf! You just can't figure out how wacky this movie is unless you see it. Some of the stuff in there it's almost surprising to see that in a movie, but it's there all right! And secretary Ulla was...well, let me just say ZOWIE! A comedy classic.
