Though theatre was my first love, film has stolen my heart in recent years. In Part II of our ongoing Theatre in Film series, we explore the latter years of Classical Hollywood Cinema when Technicolor was new and movie musicals, filled with rich color and vibrant acting, lifted off the screen. For our\u00a0third\u00a0film in Part II, we celebrate\u00a0The Producers<\/em>\u00a0from 1968.<\/p>\n

The video below carries the ’68 date, but the film was officially released in November of ’67. The premiere was a failure, and it was banned in Germany.\u00a0The Producers\u00a0<\/em>was therefore\u00a0not distributed until later — in March 1968. For reference, I refer to this film with it’s original release date — ’67.<\/p>\n
