"THE QUICK FUSE!!!" is not where the theater ORIGINALLY blew up...the original theatrical run has Franz stomping and cutting the fuse prior to any detonation...the three take a detonating plunger outside and leave it un-supervised when the drunk from the 'silvery moon' intermission mistakes it for a shoeshine box..."OK BOYS. SHINE 'EM UP"...down goes the plunger and POW...CUE THE COURTROOM SCENE. For home video Mel truncated that whole sequence and tightened up the movie runtime...I saw THE PRODUCERS in the theater a few times during it's theatrical run in packed movie houses...the uproarious laughter raised the roof....what a time it was.
I thought the musical in the beginning was “Stop the Planet Of The Apes, I Wanna Get Off” starring Troy McClure.
