probably my favorite movie ever
(The ORIGINAl “The Producers” starring Gene Wilder and Zero Mostel. Don’t bother with the gay abomination retread of “The Producers”)
Agree 100%.
One side effect of the producers is that it marked the end of the public taking the Hippies seriously. After Dick Shawn performed his "Love Power" bit people started laughing AT the hippies and very quickly it was embarrassing to admit to be a hippy.
Indeed.
My Favorite movie too.
The “retread” not only skewed the way you said it did, but also left out some of the most iconic characters from the original:
The Concierge
and
Lorenzo (THAT’S OUR HITLER!)
