When timid accountant Leo Bloom (Gene Wilder) is brought in to do his books, he inadvertently reveals to Bialystock that under the right circumstances, a producer could make more money with a flop than a hit. Bialystock cajoles Bloom into helping him achieve this end and together they come up with what they consider to be a sure-fire disaster waiting to happen – a musical version of Adolf and Eva’s love story entitled ‘Springtime For Hitler’. But is it possible that they might actually have the most unlikely hit of all time on their hands?Extras: Q&A with Mel Brooks and TCM host Ben Mankiewicz from the TCM Classic Film Festival 2018 Tempo episode with Zero Mostel Making of The Producers Paul Mazursky reads Peter Sellers ad Sketch gallery slideshow Deleted Scenes Soundtrack Spoofs New The Producers trailer
