The
Original 1968 Film From The Academy Award Winning Screenplay By
Writer/Director Mel Brooks
A "startling, stunning, outrageous [and] breathtaking debut" (Los Angeles
Times) from acclaimed writer/director Mel Brooks (Young Frankenstein,
Spaceballs), this Oscar-winning comedy combines "pure pell-Mel lunacy
[and] wild, ad-lib energy [into an] uproariously funny" (Time) film!
Low-rent Broadway producer Max Bialystock (Zero Mostel) and his
high-strung accountant, Leo Bloom (Gene Wilder), discover that, with the help
of a
few gullible investors, they can make more money on a
flop than on a
hit! Armed with the worst
show ever written ("Springtime for
Hitler") and an
equally horrific cast, this double-dealing duo is banking
on disaster.
But when their sure-to-offend musical becomes a
surprise smash hit, they find themselves in
the middle
of a
Broadway blitzkrieg!
