I just watched “The Producers” on TCM last Sunday. Made in 1968, it was openly making fun of homo stereotypes of those days. I don’t imagine such a film could be made today. The TCM commentator afterward said the studio (Goldwyn?) would not allow it to be released when it was first finished. He said it was “in bad taste”!Over time it got in circulation anyway and became very popular, especially on TV.

In the new version of "The Producers" the guy who played Hitler was gay. A lot more gay undertones in the update than in the original.
