Such genius! This is one of the greatest finales in motion pictures, simply because, in both music and humour, it represents an unquenchable optimism that, whatever the confinements of our situations in life, we can always find the hope of getting our kick-line a little higher! Saturday is always opening night in the universal Leavenworth...and you may not be the warden, but you still own thirty percent of the show!
Well, I sincerely hope you never end up in prison again and are fully rehabilitated. If you do, I will visit you and accompany your performance on piano.
Again and again . They'll always do it !!! Until there isn't a UA-cam , or whatever way The Producer's movie is played to future audiences . Mel Brooks and the whole wonderful cast , will in this way , live on forever more . Not a bad achievement for a ' low ' budget movie . That now is up there with the very best of all time comedy greats .
The songs that feel like they could be at the end of every Mel Brooks movie and at the end of a lot of movies or movie franchises: Sherwood Rap Reprise (the chorus at least), Prisoners of Love, and the 'Goodbye' song from the musical version of 'The Producers' (end of the curtain calls on stage and after all the credits in the 2005 movie). Take your pick as a song to see the entire cast singing as the movie full ends: 1) "I said hey! Hey! I said hey! Hey! I said - Hey-nonny-nonny, hey nonny-nonny, hey-nonny-nonny and a here we go! Check it out!" 2) "Oh you can lock us up and loose the key, but hearts in love we'll always be! Prisoners of love, blue skies above, 'cause we're still prisoners, we're still prisoners, we're still prisoners of love!" 3) "Thanks for coming to see our show, sad to tell you we've got to go! Grab your hat and head for the door, in case you didn't notice there ain't anymore! If you liked our show tell everyone but, if you think it stinks then keep your big mouth shut! WE're glad you came but we have to shout: Adios! Au revior! Wiedersehen! Ta ta ta! Goodbye! Get lost! Get out! It's over."
I just got back from my Income Tax Theory class, we watched this movie today, and wow it was amusing. Especially the barely clothed women dancing on screen with a class of Christian University students. Definitely enjoyed the movie. We also have an assignment, writing a memo of all of the taxable transactions, legal and illegal, in the movie. Wish me luck
Because you sit through the credits at the beginning of the film so the credits will be short at the end, and all the people who worked on it are credited at the end.
My theory is that movies have gotten more complicated *and* that all contractors get listed now. Back in the day you might just give credit to the company, but now they list everyone even tangentially related
I think movie industries all over the world got an endorsement from the Count von Count from Sesame Street after the movie 'Follow that Bird' when the Count gleefully announced now many credits there were at the end of them.
To answer your question, it was George Lucas. He barely had enough money to film "American Graffiti". So in order to placate the crew, he offered to credit whole departments, not just the heads (traditionally "above the line" and earning a screen credit).
I think what's hysterical about the final scene is they're willing to have the nazi play piano for the song :) cats and dogs, Catholics and Protestants, Jews and nazis, English and Irish....beggars can't be choosers in prison! :)
The play they are putting on. Originally the title was Springtime for Hitler, but Mel was told to change the title because Marquees wouldn't put Hitler on them.
The January 6th Prison Choir should sing this. They probably will when Trump joins them in prison after he losses in November and is found guilty for January 6th.
I own 90 percent of Prisoners of Love.
Looking forward to my return.
Whatever mood I’m in, I always smile when Zero joyfully shouts, “we open in Leavenworth Saturday night!”

Leavenworth , the Capital of good taste !!!
A song that brings to an end, the best Producers film, in an utterly joyful manner
THATS IT, BABY! WHEN YOU GOT IT, FLAUNT IT! FLAUNT IT!!!
Mel Brooks has got it. So glad he flaunts it. 🥰
I just hope if I'm ever in Prison again, I have the chutzpah to stand up and sing "Prisoner's of Love" in front of everyone.
again?
Good luck with that......
Hide the Vaseline if you do :) I know NO ONE who went to prison who would find it amusing :)
Well, I sincerely hope you never end up in prison again and are fully rehabilitated. If you do, I will visit you and accompany your performance on piano.
This, is comedy.
It had it all.
A genuis comedy
Love the way the Hollywood chorus takes over from the convicts singing 'Prisoners of Love' to show that they've done it all again!
Again and again .
They'll always do it !!!

Gonna Play this on Valentine's Day
I’m listening to it on Valentine’s! Haha
It’s utterly amazing how short movie credits used to be. Why did those get longer over the years and when did this start happening? The 90s?
Because you sit through the credits at the beginning of the film so the credits will be short at the end, and all the people who worked on it are credited at the end.

Has to do with rights.
The ending of Better Call Saul made me think of this scene
The best comedy… ever
🎶GOTTA SING SIIIING!🎶
Maga the musical
Original and best by far, no matter how they try to sully it's memory and cash-in with inferior versions . . . Screw you Mr Brooks!
Guess they are expecting this to bomb too. And even if it does hit, what can happen to them? They are already in jail.
Has anyone else noticed that Zero dances the first moonwalk in history at 1:43?
ITS SATURDAY NIGHT
I think what's hysterical about the final scene is they're willing to have the nazi play piano for the song :)
cats and dogs, Catholics and Protestants, Jews and nazis, English and Irish....beggars can't be choosers in prison! :)
Zero
Not a Zero to me and many.
Am I the only one who thinks this sounds a lot like Fight Fiercely, Harvard?
If the Warden from Shawshank Redemption was there, what would he invest?
Notice Hans is all better?
The Producers of what?
