The Producers
Broadway producer Max Bialystock makes his accountant Leo Bloom his partner so that they can produce a profitable flop. They enlist the worst possible cast and director for the production of "Springtime for Hitler". Unfortunately the opening night performance is an unintentional hit because of its extreme bad taste.
