Introduction to the film by the THEATER FEDERATIOUN (in French | about 15 minutes | film starts at 18:45).

synopsis

Max Bialystock is a down-on-his-luck Broadway producer facing financial difficulties. His accountant then makes him realize that a commercial flop could turn out to be more profitable than a hit…

Hilarious and irreverent, Brooks’ first film has the good fortune to be graced with the comic genius of Mostel, Wilder, and Shawn.

Austin Chronicle

Each time I’ve watched it, The Producers has felt horribly pertinent to the present moment. One year, I found it a poignantly contemporary paean to postmodern irony; another year, it was an agonisingly topical satire of the American dream and success uber alles.
