Release Year: 1967

Mel Brooks’ absolutely insane tale of making it happen (or not!) under the bright lights of Broadway. In a zany turn of accounting and stage-play production, unlikely duo NAME & NAME (played with unforgettable fervor and quirks by Zero NAME & Gene Wilder), decide that their quickest road to success and financial solvency involves a staging of the absolute WORST show New York City has ever seen. This hilarious classic is full of off-color humor and questionable taste, but it goes to show how sometimes making all the WRONG moves can turn out surprisingly RIGHT in the court of public opinion.
