“WHERE DID WE GO RIGHT?”
by Robert A. Nowotny
“We picked the wrong play! We picked the wrong
director! We picked the wrong actors! Where did we go
right?”
For Mel Brooks and his glorious gang the answer is he went
“right” EVERYWHERE. Whether it is the original
1968 version of THE PRODUCERS or the latest incarnation which was
released in December and is still playing in selected theaters
worldwide, this comic romp is as hilarious as anything ever put on
the motion picture screen. It is inspired lunacy—and
the signature song, “Springtime for Hitler and
Germany,” is the all-time looney tune. I know I will be
humming this devilish Deutschland ditty for weeks to come.
Be sure to watch all of the closing credits in this current
version; there's a gaggle of golden nuggets to savor including the
voice of Mr. Brooks whispering softly this little pronouncement as
the credits come to a close: “MEIN KAMPF is now
available in paperback at both Barnes & Noble and
Amazon.com.”
Hey, it is the only book George W. Bush has actually read
cover-to-cover. Why not pick up a copy and gain some insight?
