Mel Brooks's classic roars to hilarious new life in this musical comedy. Nathan Lane and Matthew Broderick - reprising their roles from the 2001 Broadway hit - portray failing producer Max Bialystock and nerdy accountant Leo Bloom. Together, the duo schemes to bilk their investors (little old ladies) by producing a musical so utterly tasteless and awful that it will last only one night. The result is Springtime for Hitler. The duo managed to get a Swedish bombshell (Thurman) with a last name over 15-syllable long to be the lead actress.
