“Hollywood Never Faced a Zanier Zero Hour!”
1968•PG•1h 29m•7.1•Released
Comedy
A conniving Broadway producer and his meek accountant plan to profit from charming wealthy old biddies to invest in an overbudget production, and then put on a sure-fire disaster, so nobody will ask for their money back — and what's more disastrous than a tasteless musical celebrating Adolf Hitler.
