The Producers has the reputation of being one of the funniest movies of all time and I will admit the first time I saw it I was a little disappointed. I recently picked up the DVD at a deep discount and decided to give it another shot. This time around, as with Dr. Strangelove the second time around, I noticed a lot more of the subtleties (if that is the right word in a Mel Brooks comedy) in the story and the actor's performances. Gene Wilder's performance at the beginning of the movie is still is not my favorite, but once everything gets rolling The Producers is one funny flick. Dick Shawn who's character's name is Lorenzo St. DuBois (L.S.D.) is cast as Hitler in the musical Springtime for Hitler and he practically steals the movie he is so funny. Right behind him is Kenneth Mars as the Springtime for Hitler author Franz Liebkind. ("What's this baby, the Fuhrer never said baby.) You can get this movie just about anyplace for $10 which makes this classic a no brainer to pick up.
