As Seen On Screen

As Seen on Screen offers readers a chance to see film reviews for the everyman, without all of the clutter and nonsense fed to the average filmgoer. Plain, straitforward, to the point. That's our goal. We offer a diverse catalogue of which to choose from, from silent comedies to modern superhero films. Final note: this is a family friendly blog. We only review films rated G through PG-13, plus the unrated films of yesteryear. So if this sounds like your cup of tea, pull up a crumpet and enjoy. Thanks for your support!

     The Producers
1967  NR  COMEDY  1h 28min
CAST— Zero Mostel, Gene Wilder, Kenneth Mars, Dick Shawn, Lee Meredith, Christopher Hewitt, Andreas Voutsinas, Estelle Winwood, Renee Taylor, Bill Hickey
MUSIC— Brian Morris, John Morris  DIRECTOR— Mel Brooks

     Bland, ultimately tasteless comedy focusing on a washed up Broadway producer and his accountant scheming a novel approach to strike it rich: produce a flop at an extravagant price; after the show closes rake in the overflow. It’s complicated. Perfect for anyone who thinks that Jews mocking the Third Reich in a musical entitled Springtime for Hitler is the ultimate comedic genius. Oscar-winner for Best Original Screenplay. Deemed “culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant” by the United States Library of Congress National Film Registry.
OUR RATING— * ½
REMADE AS— The Producers (2005)
