Show notes
This is the 40 On Film podcast. We look at the films of actors and directors who hit the big 4-0 during production. This show is focusing on 40 years of the film musical. In 1967 Mel Brooks directed The Producers. Max Bialystock is a washed up Broadway producer. Leo Bloom is a mousy accountant. When the two meet, their combined expertise points them toward the ultimate scam: Raising money for a guaranteed flop Broadway Show. They need the worst play to do this. They find it in the musical "Springtime For Hitler"
