The Producers (2005 film)

The Producers is a 2005 American musical-comedy film directed by Susan Stroman. The film stars Nathan Lane, Matthew Broderick, Uma Thurman, Will Ferrell, Gary Beach, Roger Bart and Jon Lovitz. The film is an adaptation of the 2001 Broadway musical, which in turn was based on the 1968 film of the same name starring Zero Mostel, Gene Wilder, and Andreas Voutsinas. It was produced and distributed domestically by Universal Pictures and overseas by Columbia Pictures.

The creature effects for Tom the Cat and the performing pigeons were provided by Jim Henson's Creature Shop.

Plot

Following the flop of theatre musical Funny Boy (based on William Shakespeare's Hamlet) ("Opening Night"), the show's washed-up producer, Max Bialystock, hires the neurotic Leo Bloom as his accountant. While studying Max's books, Leo notes that, since a flop is expected to lose money, the IRS won't investigate the finances of failed productions. Leo then jests that, by selling an excess of shares and embezzling the funds, a flop could generate up to $2 million. Deciding to enact the plan, Max asks for Leo's help with the scheme, only for the latter to refuse ("We Can Do It").

Hey man
Don't you know what you are saying
Hey man
Don't you hear the words running out of your mouth
Hey man
You tell me I ain't got to expertise
Expertise, what do you know about expertise
Who do you think you are
Who do you think you really are
Hey man
I'm aware of your position
Hey man
Luck has made you the man in charge
Hey man
You shake your finger and you give the word
Give the word
What gives you the right to give the word
Hey man
Your glory days are fading
Hey man
Your faithful troops have deserted you
Hey man
There's nobody left to listen anymore
Anymore
You've lost them all and you've just lost me
