But its also funny, isnt it? The film revolves around a Broadway producer who, for financial and technical reasons, wants to produce a flop. Isnt that a bit tasteless?īrooks: Of course. SPIEGEL: Your new comedy The Producers is set at the end of the 1950s on Broadway and concerns a Nazi musical that breaks box office records. So Hitlers incomplete moustache would never have been enough for that. A cinema villain essentially needs a moustache so he can twiddle with it gleefully as he cooks up his next nasty plan. Is that the long shadow of Hitler?īrooks: You must be joking! Rogues on the screen were already wearing moustaches when Hitler was still running around in short trousers. Brooks, almost all the rogues in your film have moustaches.
