Things turn around for Max when he's visited by the neurotic accountant Leo Bloom, who proposes a scheme tailor-made for producers who can only make flops: raise far more money than you need, then make sure the show is despised. No one will be interested in it, so you can pocket the surplus. With this in mind, they decide to produce a musical called 'Springtime for Hitler' written by escaped Nazi Franz Liebken. Then they get the insanely flamboyant Roger De Bris to direct and hire the loopy Swedish bombsheel Ulla as the lead actress.

Add a CommentI just love this movie.
It is a Broadway musical in a movie format. No wait, it is movie with a Broadway theme. It is the best of both worlds. The intermixing of Hollywood and Broadway stars will have you transfixed. A wonderful romp.
Lame.
one of my favourite movies IN THE WHOLE WORRLLDDD <3 i love it, i love it, i love itttt :D
At first i just watched The Producers for Will Ferrell, then Nathan Lance and Matthew Broderick do their thing to music by Mell Gibson. YES. gay dudes, swiss hotties, Nazi musicals. This is a movie to see people. ASAP
Thought this movie was hilarious. Worth a watch.
This is one of the most fun musicals I have ever seen. It is a scream! The contrast between the two leads makes it all the more interesting. This is a must see for anyone in the mood for a laugh!
