The Producers (1968)
Written and directed
by Mel Brooks this film stars Zero Mostel, Gene Wilder, Dick Shawn
and Kenneth Mars. A scheming theatre producer and a nervous
accountant attempt to make money by defrauding investors in a
Broadway play.
Essentially this film
is a hilarious farce that has more than a knowing nod to some of the
practises of it's own industry. While the film may not be that long
it does not overstay it's welcome and handles what could be bad taste
subject matter really well. Some of the direction and film quality is
a little weaker than the writing but while it is clear that the film
was made on a budget it does not affect your viewing of the film.
4/5
