The Producers

The Producers is a movie starring Zero Mostel, Gene Wilder, and Dick Shawn. A stage-play producer devises a plan to make money by producing a sure-fire flop.
Broadway producer, Max Bialystock and his accountant, Leo Bloom plan to make money by charming little old ladies to invest in a production many times over what it will actually 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.
