Talk:The Producers (2005 film)

message: Regarding: This is a movie about a play based on a play about a play based on a movie about a play.
That's not very professional or encyclopedic.  While it's "cute," it should be followed by a section explaining precisely what it means and how each incarnation fits into the whole.

message: According to Susan Stroman's commentary on the DVD, this version takes place in 1959. Stroman indicates that date 1959 was chosen as a more glamourous time for Broadway. Bill D 00:58, 18 May 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Does not take place in 1968 after all! 

message: For the content descriptions in films, sexual humor means, talking about anatomy, which is personal. --PJ Pete

message: I doubt Lovitz was in the Broadway production. If he was only in the movie version, that should be added to the section on differences between movie and play. CGameProgrammer 17:31, 5 June 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  [[Jon Lovitz]] 

message: The audition scene cannot be a reference to A Chorus Line, the musical hadn't even been written when the original Producers movie debuted. It was merely parodying the audition process as a whole. --UNHchabo 04:52, 18 August 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Trivia 

message: Is it worth mentioning that some of the costumes from the "Make It Gay" scene (particularly at the very end) are reminiscent of Village People? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mwalimu59 (talk • contribs) 12:29, 21 August 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  [[Village People]] 

message: Yet another reference to others musicals: in the audictions scene, the third candidate replies "For the last 15 years, I've been ... in the play: No, No, Nietzsche" That's a reference to "No, no, Nanette"(1925) [It includes the song: "Tea for two"]
and, of course, a 'recomendation' on Nietzsche's work! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.155.146.89 (talk • contribs) 23:38, 27 September 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  More references 

message: surely there was SOME positive reception to the movie? I surely remember reading people who found the over the top gay stereotypes, for example, to be a typical Mel Brooks way of ridiculing stereotypes by carrying them to extremes.

replies: text: I moved this to a separate section since it is all about criticism about the movie for its claimed anti gay stereotypes --Nfvatutin 22:59, 21 January 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Reception 

message: This section is poorly sourced. The references don't meet the criteria of WP:RS, WP:V, or WP:EL. I have no objection to this kind of section, but it should contain references to third party non-trivial publications, like The Advocate if one such review exists. —Malber (talk • contribs) 19:45, 25 January 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Notes on more recent edit: The new additions from Salon.com and SFbay Times are fine. But the afterelton.com and the tripod site are still questionable. —Malber (talk • contribs) 14:28, 26 January 2007 (UTC)

message: The Karmann Ghia was a sports car marketed by Volkswagen, designed by the Italian firm Ghia, and built by German coach builder Karmann.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.155.145.176 (talk) 21:56, 29 December 2007 (UTC)

message: Shouldn't they have returned the borrowed money no matter what? So what that they changed accounts, backers gave money to them, under their names. 78.110.160.85 (talk) 19:26, 9 January 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Gosh, you just blew up the premise...not. investing money in a show or film is a gamble. if the play folds on opening night, all the money put up to produce it is a total loss, as the investments are set to pay off in %of box office grosses. The investors (they are NOT lenders, that would be a horse of a different color) know this up front, and are used to walking away from flops occasionally.66.80.6.163 (talk) 15:31, 28 July 2011 (UTC)

text: Since when does a movie have to make sense? If all movies did, then they would have rebooted the James Bond franchise 20 years before they actually did. (How does a character stay young after 40 years?) RobertGustafson (talk) 05:41, 2 March 2013 (UTC)
thread_title:  Explain the scheme (the Producers 2005) 

message: Doesn't Mel Brooks himself have a singing cameo role in this film? (One lyric: "Don't be stupid, be a smarty / Come and join the Nazi party!" I know he's at least on the soundtrack for that line.) If I'm right, this should be mentioned in the article. RobertGustafson (talk) 05:35, 2 March 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: He also has the last line in the movie, after the credits the "Goodbye" song plays and he finishes it.  Not sure if it is enough for a mention, but you are right.LM2000 (talk) 02:33, 26 May 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: Actually, unlike the Goodbye song, he just has a cameo in Springtime for Hitler as a solider.  The current listing for the song reads "Soldiers, Girls, and Company"... I think Soliders covers his part well enough.  He is already listed for the Goodbye song.LM2000 (talk) 04:43, 26 May 2013 (UTC)
