The shot at 0:33 with the sudden close-up is one of my favorite shots in film history. The clever cinematography makes the film even more amusing.

In one movie, Mel parodied Broadway, 1930s Hollywood musicals, 1960s counterculture, totalitarianism, capitalistic greed, and sexual stereotypes. Do any movies today have this much wit?

Zero Mostel should've been Oscar-nominated for this! At least Mel won for the script.

Just brilliant! One of the funniest movies of all time, written and directed by one of the greatest comedic geniuses of all time.

Dick Shawn steals the movie. Fantastic.Very funny.

Came for gene wilder stayed for gene wilder

Dick Shawn as L.S.D. -- over the top! I loved the reaction of that bearded guy in the seats! HA! Shawn was great in "It's A Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World." The looks on the faces of the people in the audience during "Springtime for Hitler" is priceless! "The Producers" is insane genius! I remember going to the cinema to see it when it premiered.

I've watched this movie about 25 times. It completes me.

“o wicked witch of the west” always cracks me up 😂👌

My favorite is in the Hitler auditions, there’s a band with a saxophone and there’s no discernible saxophone sounds in the music 😂

As close to the most perfect comedy film possible. A brilliant premise magnificently written and performed by the most perfectly cast troup of actors imaginable. Mostel and Wilder brilliant, but all the support players are also superb. You can just re-watch it endlessly; every scene is hilarious.

"Goose steps are new steps today!" "Well talk about bad taste!" Knicker wetting lines every second. Love andrea

I saw this on broadway in New York. It was a surreal moment to be sitting in Broadway theatre, watching springtime for Hitler the way it should've been seen!

I didn’t see this in a theater. I was 15 or 16. I don’t even remember seeing listings for it. A few years later I saw it on TV. Angels sang, and a little voice inside (sounded like Gene) said,”This will be the funniest movie you ever see.” I was changed that night. I fell like a rock for Gene Wilder. He was the greatest comedic actor in the world, I was sure of it. And I wanted to tell everyone I was friends with that they HAD to see THE PRODUCERS, because it was the funniest movie ever. But I couldn’t give them a summary of the plot because I would start to laugh so hard I couldn’t finish. I adored Gene from that point on, and saw everything he did. I was heartbroken when he got in such sad shape from Alzheimer’s. Life is most cruel to do,that to Gene. I miss him every time I see him in something. But I’m grateful to have all the movies and so many interviews to access on KZfaq. I’ll always love him. He was so dear.💕

Mel's autobiography goes over this movie (and many others) - the stories he tells about it are comical, and show him being a comic genius

Just like at a funeral for a loved one,....if someone makes you laugh at a joke or a memory.....surely it's a good thing.....Laughter eases the pain,..even if it is for a short while ........May the laughter never end!!!!!

One of the funniest comedies ever made!

Ultimate 'bad taste'. Always loved this movie!

I am now craving pretzels and beer.

Ahhh, you cut off the best part of the “Hitler Auditions” when after the Love Power song it’s yelled out, “That’s our Hitler!!”

I was born in Dusseldorf and that is why they call me Rolf. LOL LOL LOL

This was a funny movie but I think it went over a lot of people’s heads. There were also people who got “offended” over Springtime for Hitler. I’m a messianic Jew (only 11% Jewish bloodline) and I saw the humor in it. Sometimes people just need to get a life rather than attack things that they don’t understand.

Mostel is great, a classic comedy figure looks a lot like an old Greek film comedian and his style fits perfect old Greek and Italian comedies.

This is my favorite Mel Brook film because it so mean-spirited, cynical, and just stomps on societal taboos. LOL

Simply the funniest film ever made !

I've never seen this movie but I've been watching clips all morning and I can tell that this will become one of my favorite movies of all time! How am I 35 years old but have never seen this!? Makes me wonder how many other things in life I'm missing out on!

absolutely too funny! the crazy hippie was from my hometown. My friend was playing quarters at 1am Saturday night at his buddies house. They heard a key in the door....it was him! lol he was my friends older brother.

Absolute masterpiece

The Best of The Best of The Best😊

Seriously, a masterpiece of a movie.

First time i've seen their orig version!

FASCINANTE! AMO OS FILMES DE MEL BROOKS - ELE É UM GÊNIO DA COMÉDIA!!!!

The funniest movie ever made

Harvey Korman was criminally underrated comedic genius. From Carol Burnett to every Brooks film, with HIGH FIDELITY being his masterpiece performance.

4:27 the keyboardist DELIVERS

Zero mostel genius genius genius x

Another scene that was very funny was when they meet Franz Liebkind at his apartment.

Lmao these jokes are sooo subtle

Gene Wilder ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Oddly enough, a friend of mine was asking what was going on at a company he was invested in and my first question was why anyone would want to run a company into the ground. Then I remembered this movie - so long as it goes bust, nobody asks where the money went.

i have never scene this movie but now I would like too

The people in the audience were offended? Why did they go see a play called Springtime for Hitler? What did they expect? A serious discussion on painting in the spring?

When are we getting Louis Wain trailer?

Imagine trying to sell the concept of this movie? 😯

Pity there's actually no tenor saxophone playing to be heard in the music at the Hitler audition. Mere staffage.

Although probably my least favourite, Gene Wilder and Mel Brooks are always fantastic

Did Mel write the song LSD sang?

Even if the show was a flopped enough investors could have gotten together and demanded an audit of the books.If one or more investors failed to see their name on one of the books as one of the investors, that would have been a sure sign of impropriety and would have raised suspicion of their being two separate books for bookkeeping(One book showing that only $100,000 was raised and another book showing that $900,000 was raised even though it only cost $100,000 to produce the show). The Producers surely would have gone to jail if indeed that happened.

I paused after THAT DAISY THREAT FROM HELL

This movie was just a laugh

This original will always be better than the play and 2nd mivie for 3 reasons: Mostly, Wilder and Shawn....pure comic genius

Don't be stupid be a smarty

7:28 what’s up with dude with a German helmet 😂

What they got away with lol.

ZERO mostel.. SHOULD HAVE GOTTEN A WIG..

The best way to make fascists mad? Laugh at them 🤣

The radiant zenith of viciously satirical comedy. Makes the Python's 'Life of Brian' look like a rapidly decomposing dead pope.

Willy wonka

Best comedy ever remake was poor

I prefer the 2005 remake

Zero Mostel is what Jack Black wishes he could be

No one ever seems to mention that this was a rip off of the film "Panic Button" made in 1964.

I love it! To hell with political correctness!

Matthew broderick and nathan lane did it better. And fyi i didnt grew with the original
