Title: Mel Brooks is a Comedic Genius!
Product review: Leo Bloom (Matthew Broderick) arrives at the office of washed up producer Max Bialystock to work as his accounting. Leo, who secretly wants to be a producer himself, voices the thought that a flop can make more money than a hit, and Max instantly begins thinking of how to create a show that closes its first night. After considerable trepidation, Bloom agrees to join Max, realizing that he's risking nothing - his life is already in a virtual jail.Max stumbles upon a script titled 'Springtime for Hitler' written by ex-Nazi Will Ferrell, one Max is certain will fail. They then recruit a gay director. Financing is accomplished through Max's collection of lonely old ladies.On the first night the audience originally reacts with horror and some walk out; however, the flamboyance of the play soon convinces the rest that it's intent is to mock Hitler and the show is a success. The actual accomplishment of that mockery is comedic genius.
