The Producers

  • Watchlist

A once-successful theatrical producer and a meek accountant team up and plot to stage a colossal, surefire Broadway flop as a way to bilk investors out of large sums of money. Writer-director Mel Brooks' screenplay won an Oscar; and Gene Wilder was nominated for Best Supporting Actor as the nebbishy bean counter. The film was later made into a Broadway musical and a big-screen songfest.

YEP, SHE'S HAPPY

The Ellen DeGeneres Show enjoyed its best ratings week ever the week ending Dec. 18, due in large part to a visit from The Producers stars Nathan Lane, Matthew Broderick and Will Ferrell. The show drew more than five million viewers, the talker's largest single-day audience in two and a half years on the air — which will quite possibly be more people than will actually see the critically drubbed big-screen musical.

WHO'S GOLDEN?

The L.A. Times' awards-show handicapping forum, GoldDerby.com, has announced its early film favorites to earn nods for the Golden Globes — and, well, you ain't see none of 'em yet! In the best drama picture category, the three lead contenders appear to be King Kong, Memoirs of a Geisha and Munich, while the Best Comedy/Musical slot would seem to belong to The Family Stone, Mrs. Henderson Presents, The Producers and Walk the Line.
