On one hand, I can't believe that The Producers came out in 1967. On the other, well, it actually makes a lot of sense.
mike hotdogJan 17, 2021I had a lot of fun with this one! Mel Brooks’ bizarre off the wall style feels so different from other 60s Hollywood comedies, some still struggling to evolve from the screwball genre that worked so well in the 40s. This has elements of those, but incorporated a dark sense…

- William Luckenbach lovedThe Producers
Mel Brooks is a genius and this is without a doubt his magnum opus. No film of his surpasses the hilarity and wit of this classic film. (Although Young Frankenstein comes close) 9.5/10
James New lovedThe ProducersPure genius comedy. It’s so taboo even for the time that I fully believe it is impossible to get reasonably offended by this film. Tremendous comedic chemistry from the leads and a quippy, sharp comedic wit to the whole thing. It’s the perfect length and entirely hilarious
Obihulk lovedThe ProducersThis might be one of the most Absurd films Mel Brooks has ever created. It’s freaky,outrageous, hilarious and most definitely couldn’t be made today. I had no idea what I was walking into when buying this movie and now I will remember this for the rest of my life. 8/10

love this film & it’s probably my favourite atp. THE best mel brooks film ever, in my humble opinion. also love Gene Wilder. it’s so hilarious & could make me laugh even at the lowest points of my life - and it has! (thank u, mr. brooks) overall, The Producers 🔛🔝
Olivia Octavius lovedThe ProducersTruly amazing. Refreshingly politically incorrect in a ridiculous manner. And Gene Wilder continues to be an absolute gem, and is iconic in this. Along with every other character. Don’t remember the last time I laughed this hard at a movie.
Johnny Craw likedThe ProducersMostel and Wilder knock it out of the park! This comedy is funny because of its absurdity - the performances hold nothing back which makes a silly movie become hilarious!
- Orlando Ramone likedThe Producers
I wish Gene Wilder could have been in the musical version of The Producers, that version is way funnier but the performances aren’t as intense as this version.
Ilan3321 lovedThe Producersdid all of it age well? no it's been a while. but, the humor is still there all these years later
Jennifer Facenda lovedThe ProducersThe humor really held up. Idk what it is with 60’s movies and younger men seeing older women

Metacritic
The one aspect of the original Producers that still stuns is the roaring, over-the-top, in-your-face thereness of its two lead performances.
Ty Burr
Boston Globe
However familiar, it delivers like a shorted slot machine.
Michael Atkinson
Village Voice
Maniacally funny. It remains neck and neck with Young Frankenstein as Brooks' best film.
