The Producers
By Uncle Jay

Well, I attended a test screening to what is sure to be a big contender at this year's Academy Awards. I witnessed the film adaptation of the Broadway Musical version of Mel Brooks' "The Producers."

Now, I am not a huge fan of Musicals, I like a few but they are not my cup of tea. So before I get into this, let me just say that I'm a huge Mel Brooks fan and I hold the 1968 movie in very high regard. Also, I have never seen the Broadway musical.

I loved every minute of "The Producers"...so much fun.

Max Bialystock (the always terrific Nathan Lane) is a broke and dishonest Broadway Producer. His new play "Funny Boy" has opened up to horrible reviews, and we witness this in a funny number called 'Opening Night' explaining how it sucked, and it closes the same night it opens. (I was told that right after this scene in the Broadway Musical, there is a song entitled 'The King of Broadway'...this is not present in the film).

Leo Bloom (Matthew Broderick) is a very meek and nervous accountant who has come to Max's office to do his books. Lane and Broderick work beautifully together and play off each other nicely, as we get into these guys and the plot of the story (the audience roared with laughter through this whole scene). Leo hints to Max that he can actually make more money from a flop than he would a hit...by raising more money than needed and producing a surefire dud...which would lead to its immediate close, and the extra money is for the keeping. Max loves this idea and wants Leo to help him, and 'We Can Do It'...is the song that defines it.
