The chemistry between Mostel and Wilder is perfect. When I first bought a VCR (yes, a LONG time ago), the original Producers was the first videotape I got. Die Fuhrer never said "Baby"! I liebs ya, I liebs ya. Now lieb me alone! I'm wet!.... And in pain!.... And hysterical! Agreed, agreed, agreed! The chemistry between Mostel and Wilder is perfect.

Die Fuhrer never said “Baby”!

I liebs ya, I liebs ya. Now lieb me alone!

I’m wet!…. And in pain!…. And hysterical!

So many excellent touches--pure Mel Brooks genius--and before his later hits Blazing Saddles and Young Frankenstein. Since seeing it in the 60s, I've turned on my sons and countless friends to this gem. All of the peformances are superb, from Ken Mars as Franz Liebkin and Dick Shawn as the hippie LSD. Arguably the most important comedy of the era. The original Producers was one of the funniest movies I’d ever seen., too, the original anti-musical.
