Mel Brooks, The Producers, making of 1of 7

[phuongnasta]

The only film that made both my father and grandfather laugh out loud! It was and still is a hilarious movie! One of the best comedies ever made!

[sianross]

I've watched this so many times (first on TV, then VHS then DVD) that I know every line. My favourite comedy film, I love it. And curiously, the VHS I have ends with the drunk detonating the bomb.

One of the greatest. I'm only 28 so I wasnt alive during his prime, but I'm going to cry like a baby once Mel is gone. Some of the best memories.

I was a teenager babysitting into the wee hours.  I found this on the Late Night Movie (remember, this was before cable) and thought I'd been drugged.  My favorite film.

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!

When Nathan Lane accepted his Tony for The Producers, he said "As comedy legends go, Mel Brooks is probably the most adorable."

[chrisbrasel]

man, I can't get that song out of my head as this movie will delight people of all ages in the future like in the past.

[KrystalLake]

Thank you for sharing this! The Producers is the first film I remember seeing as a kid,   and probably the film I've seen the most.  It never gets old.

[Growler]

Everyone should see this film before they die funniest film ever

[AstralPixie]

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?*

[ricklawrence]

This is the funniest movie I have ever seen in my 61 years.
My favourite line in the movie: "That's it baby; when you got it flaunt it. FLAUNT IT!!"

[dangaines]

Very funny movie! The director, the actors, the stage dancers, the singers! All class acts!

Thanks for posting. Mel Brooks is the man.

[TavgaHawrame]

Mel Brooks is best writer, producers is best ever written

[JudasAngel]

Next to Young Frankienstein this is one of my Alltime favs by Brooks

[mariocisneros]

Funny " I'm wearing a cardboard belt "."Little old ladies on one last trill on the way to the cemetery ".

[kevhead]

Two movies that had me busting a gut right out of the gate. The Pink Panther Stikes again and The Producers. Difference being that The Producers maintained the hilarity throughout.

[jkorshak]

The film is simply brilliant. The big Busby Berkeley Springtime for Hitler show number is sublime comedy. Gut laughs every time.

[yournamehere]

Casting Dick Shawn as Hitler was brilliant too..."What is your name?" "Lorenzo St.Dubois... But my friends call me L.S.D."...

[haroldhollemanii]

Peter Sellers as Leo Bloom possibly would’ve been one of Sellers best roles. I can only imagine.
