    Watched this based on some of the hype here. IMHO, this film's a waste of time & money.
    Delivers slap-stick comedy in a musical venue - if that's what you're after. Acting is unremarkable. Doubt it ever would have seen the light of day were it not for a highly controversial theme (and yes, I do get the satire). If you'd like to watch a better done musical about life under the Weimar Republic, watch "Cabaret" with Liza Minnelli. Regards

  • Oy ! Max, Some people will never understand that humor is what defeated Hitler. The Jews have outlasted a few dozen tyrants and still are one of the world's greatest treasures.
    They tried to kill us; they failed; let's eat!!!
  • I assume Max posted in honor of his name or more likely his alias named after the shows main character.

    Reply to @jerry & others: Max certainly has a right to post this. The film (and play before it) has a mainstream following and has been reviewed favorably by many critics. It's widely considered a political or social satire. I don't object to the content - but would say the (earlier) out-of-context clip was misleading for those who haven't seen the entire film.

    I still think this is a third-rate film - probably owing its existence largely to the controversial content.




  • Fiscally fabulous 2014 to all

  • Max, I agree with Maurice. It's a naughty thing to post. I don't care if it's from a funny movie or if Mel Brooks is Jewish. It's still wrong and shouldn't be here. I am surprised you decided to greet the new year with Springtime for Hitler and your master race. Sincerely, Mindy
