Amazon.co.uk Review
Mel Brooks' directorial debut remains both a career high point
and a classic show-business farce. Hinging on a crafty plot
premise, which in turn unleashes a joyously insane onstage spoof,
The Producers is powered
by a clutch of over-the-top performances, capped by the odd
couple pairing of the late Zero Mostel and Gene Wilder, making
his screen debut.
Mostel is Max Bialystock, a gone-to-seed Broadway producer who spends his days wheedling cheques from his "investors", elderly women for whom Bialystock is only too willing to provide company. When wide-eyed auditor Leo Bloom (Wilder) comes to check the books, he unwittingly inspires the wild-eyed Max to hatch a sure-fire plan: sell 25,000 per cent of his next show, produce a deliberate flop, then abscond with the proceeds. Unfortunately for the producers (but fortunately for us), their candidate for failure is Springtime for Hitler, a Brooksian conceit that envisions what Goebbels might have accomplished with a little help from Busby Berkeley.
Truly startling during its original 1968 release, The Producers does show signs of age in some peripheral scenes that make merry at the expense of gays and women. But the show's nifty cast (notably including the late Dick Shawn as LSD, the space cadet that snags the musical's title role, and Kenneth Mars as the helmeted playwright) clicks throughout, and the sight of Mostel fleecing his marks is irresistibly funny. Add Wilder's literally hysterical Bloom, and it's easy to understand the film's exalted status among late-60s comedies. --Sam Sutherland, Amazon.com
Synopsis
A failed Broadway producer and a neurotic accountant team up to
stage theatreland's biggest ever flop called 'Springtime For
Hitler'.
The Projected Man [1967] Psych-Out [1968]
Amazon.co.uk Review
For all the slasher pictures that have ripped off Psycho
(and particularly its classic set piece, the "shower scene"),
nothing has ever matched the impact of the real thing. More than
just a first-rate shocker full of thrills and suspense, Psycho
is also an engrossing character study in which director Alfred
Hitchcock skilfully seduces you into identifying with the main
characters--then pulls the rug (or the bathmat) out from under
you. Anthony Perkins is unforgettable as Norman Bates, the mama's
boy proprietor of the Bates Motel; and so is Janet Leigh as
Marion Crane, who makes an impulsive decision and becomes a
fugitive from the law, hiding out at Norman's roadside inn for
one fateful night. --Jim Emerson
Synopsis
Tense film about a series of murders at a lonely motel. The
deaths are attributed to the mother of the young owner.
