The Critic
(Ernest Pintoff, US 1963, 4 min., DCP)
The Producers
(Mel Brooks, US 1967, 88 min., DCP)
From the masterful comic mind of Brooks comes the original film farce that inspired the smash Broadway musical. Gene Wilder plays a meek accountant dragged into a scheme by money-hungry producer Max Bialystock (Zero Mostel). In their attempts to produce a flop, they create one of the most memorable and comedic musical numbers in film history: Springtime for Hitler. Preceded by the Oscar-winning animated short The Critic, featuring Brooks' sharp wit and tongue in the face of modern art.
