The Producers
“They had everything to gain by not being a success!”
2005•PG-13•2h 14m•6.2•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.
