The Producers - The Original Mel Brooks Classic- In-person lecture

Join film historian Larry Wolff as he presents the original 1967 classic The Producers - the film that is vulgar, rude, outrageous, loud, crude, disjointed and extremely funny! How can a kitschy musical about Hitler in a “Romp at Berchtesgaden” be a smashing success? Experience the first film that Mel Brooks wrote and directed, starring Zero Mostel, Gene Wilder and the outrageous Kenneth Mars.  You will discover the hysterical back story to this wonderfully funny film that led to a 2001 hit Broadway musical and a film remake in 2005. Selected highlights will be screened following the presentation and a film soundtrack, memorabilia, book and autograph display will be featured.
