The Producers (2005)

Failing producer Max Bialystock (Lane) and his accountant, Leo Bloom (Broderick) scam a group of elderly women out of their nest eggs by convincing them to invest in a horrendously offensive Third Reich-themed musical secretly intended to bomb the moment it opens. But when high-brow Broadway audiences mistakenly assume "Springtime for Hitler" is a satire, Bialystock finds himself with the critical acclaim that has long eluded him - and the biggest hit of his career.
