"Springtime for Hitler"? Who doesn't chuckle at the idea about a movie that decides to ironically make an up-beat musical about Hitler's life? In this Mel Brooks film, Gene Wilder and Zero Mostel are two con artists who intend to make the worst piece of theatre ever to cheat their investors out of their money, but, instead, create a hit that causes their plans to fail.
