THE PRODUCERS

Our first film of the new year is one of the greatest Hollywood comedies ever made – THE PRODUCERS!

Mel Brooks’ outrageous, Oscar-winning debut is a wild, no-holds-barred satire of Broadway theatre and show business excess. Fading producer Max Bialystock (Zero Mostel) and nervous accountant Leo Bloom (Gene Wilder) hatch a ridiculous get-rich-quick scheme: raise money for a sure-fire flop, pocket the difference, and flee to Rio. Their chosen disaster? A musical titled Springtime for Hitler.

But when the show unexpectedly becomes a hit, chaos erupts — and the result is one of the funniest, most audacious comedies in cinema history. With a perfect mix of sharp wit, slapstick, and unforgettable musical numbers, The Producers remains a masterclass in comic timing and fearless humour.

A riotous start to the year and an essential big-screen experience for any fan of classic comedy
