Quite possibly one of the funniest films ever made, Mel Brooks's cult comic masterpiece sees a down-on-his-luck producer and a mild-mannered accountant hatch an ill-fated scheme to get rich quick by creating a truly terrible musical.

Failing producer Max Bialystock (Zero Mostel) and his accountant Leo Bloom (Gene Wilder) aim to scam a group of elderly women out of their nest eggs by convincing them to invest in a horrendously offensive Third Reich-themed musical that’s secretly intended to bomb the moment it opens. But when highbrow Broadway audiences mistakenly assume ‘Springtime for Hitler’ is a satire, Bialystock finds himself with the critical acclaim that has long eluded him – and the biggest hit of his career!
