The Producers
Categories: [ TV/Cinema ]
Max Bialystock was once a successful Broadway producer. When is accountant tells him he could make more money with a flop than with a successful play (by raising more money than needed and disappearing with the difference), they both decide to produce the worst Broadway musical ever. They find the perfect play, Springtime for Hitler: A Gay Romp with Adolf and Eva at Berchtesgaden, written by a nostalgic, retired German soldier. They raise money by Bialystock's habitual method (selling shares of the musical's revenue to rich old ladies that he seduces), but they sell 25,000 % of the musical's share, making it a must for the musical to be a flop. If the first act of the musical looks promising (the audience hated it), the second act is a success. Bialystock then decides to bomb the theatre to prevent the musical to continue for a second show, but they are caught and sent do prison, where they organize a musical and sell shares to the inmates and the warden.
