The producers doesn't always land with its jokes and the characters aren't always easy to root for but gene wilders and zero mostel are easily the best part about this film and without them this film wouldn't have succeeded as well as it did. They have great chemistry aswell great line delivery.

Overview
Broadway producer Max Bialystock and his accountant, Leo Bloom plan to make money by charming wealthy old biddies to invest in a production many times over the actual cost, and then put on a sure-fire flop, so nobody will ask for their money back – and what can be a more certain flop than a tasteless musical celebrating Hitler.

How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A gleeful romp through the underbelly of Broadway where two con artists stumble into increasingly outrageous schemes, treating morality as just another obstacle in pursuit of a quick fortune. It's dizzy, inventive, and unapologetically in love with its own audacity.
