@@jamespfitz Geez, do you even have a sense of humor at all? Can't you tell when someone's giving a humorous compliment? You should watch the actual clip - Mel laughs along with everyone else at the comment and waves back at Nathan, who follows it up with "I love you Mel." You ought to know Nathan and Mel happen to be very close friends. Lighten up!

Went to see an amateur production of this with my husband! He’d seen the film i’d onlyheard of it. It was in a tiny little theatre so a lot of it was cut, but cut well. It was going down very well, and by the time Springtime came on the guy and i started laughing - complete strangers, just the two of us and for ten minutes we were clutching each other, the only two people in an otherwise quiet theatre. And it was like that through every scene, just the two of us again. For an amateur show the guy who played Bialy was top class West End material. It was one of the funniest evenings of my life. Brilliant!

Best line in this: "We lifted the dancing swastika from Busby Berkely" You really have to have seen one of Busby's movies to fully appreciated that. Zero, Gene and Dick Shawn! And that one line that Mel overdubs during the musical is terrific. *I picked the wrong play, the wrong director, the wrong cast... where did I go right?*

No! No! No! I believe in divine providence. Gene Wilder was born to play Leo Bloom! I was in love with him from “I’m in pain! And I’m wet! And I’m still hysterical!” My love affair with Gene never ended. I saw THE PRODUCERS on TV a couple of years after it was released. It was, and still is, the funniest movie I’ve ever seen. In NYC in 1997 I found myself sitting in a Broadway theater, just looking around. After all, you never know who might be there. (I live in Louisville so trips to New York and seeing Broadway plays are magical, thrilling times.) 0:13 Mel Brooks and Anne Bancroft were in the row ahead of me…down 3 or 4 seats. How I wanted to go down my row, and from behind hug his head and say,”Thank you for making the best movie ever!! Hello, Ms. Bancroft, I love your work too.” But in a New York City theater you don’t approach or speak to famous people unless you’re at the Stage Door after the play. How I wish I could have told him what THE PRODUCERS meant to me. 💕

***** Shot for shot? One of the biggest "complaints" of the 2005 version is that many things were done in one sho, giving a "watching a play" kind of feel (even though that's what it was). It is the same play, of course most of the dialogue is going to be the same. The main difference is that this time it has been converted into a musical so there is a slew of new, original, well composed songs that weren't in the original. I bet if half of you purist whiners had seen the 2005 version first, your tone wouldn't be so harsh.
