This was a great movie and comedy. It was highly inappropriate though. It also has a direct reference to Naziism. Like I said, this is not, not, a kid movie. This is really funny though.... Full review

The Producers, the 1968 version, is perhaps my favorite movie, at least comedy, of all time. It's a close call between Mel Brooks' loving salute to his favorite Nazi and Dr. Strangelove for the top of my comedy leader board. I... Full review

Had Mel Brooks not turned "The Producers," his zany 1968 film comedy, into a musical, the world would have never known what a superb composer and lyricist he is - "Springtime for Hitler," the film's famous song-within-the-show, aside.
Credit musical director Daniel Thomas, whose musical direction captures Brooks' off-the-wall spirit.

Brooks throws away more laughs than some plays have lines.
The show's requirements range from a precise but elusive tone to the practicality of directing traffic in large production numbers, and it all works.

The stage adaptation of Mel Brooks' "The Producers" is the most honored Broadway musical in history, having won 12 Tony Awards in 2001.
Q: Through any current prism, Mel Brooks' humor is shockingly dated, patently offensive and yet still outrageously funny.

This revival of "The Producers' is such a vaudevillian romp that you will not be able to stop laughing.
Brooks' provocative humor, in which nothing is sacred and everyone is satirized, stands out everywhere.
