Synopsis:
An early Mel Brooks classic and regarded by many as one of his best. Max Bialystock (Zero Mostel), one-time King of Broadway, now living upon the crazy whims and cash of amorous old ladies meets Leo Bloom (Gene Wilder), a neurotic accountant. Together they plan to produce the biggest theatrical flop of all time - `Springtime for Hitler`, a gay romp about Adolf and Eva - and still make a fortune.
The scheme includes a hilarious combination of a zany ex-German soldier and his appalling play, the world`s worst director and a guitar-playing hippie who gets the star role as Hitler. The play is terrible - it`s immediate failure is guaranteed, or is it? When the curtain goes up the audience goes mad leaving Leo and Max with a very serious problem.
