2 for 2 Whozit.

Yes, I read somewhere that Broderick did phone it in and that Nathan Lane read him the "riot act" to snap him out of it. Lane is THE consummate professional and gives his all and actually despises any performer who
cheats the audience by "phoning it in." He's said as much in several interviews, but is very discreet and never actually calls them out in
public.

BTW, I'm a big Nathan Lane fan, he's gifted and hilarious and was actually very good in the O.J. biopic on AMC this spring.

See, the trick is to never bother to watch the remakes. Saves you the trouble of having to scrub those images from your brain.

What other remakes , besides W.W. ?

Oh well, it doesn't matter. I rewatched the scene where he comes out of the factory, w/ cane in hand, and limps his way toward the gate. That was some serious body control he showed ! I hadn't really watched it before, but man, he really sells it!

Sounds like he left with those closest to him, and his favorite song playing.. Somehere over the rainbow. What a life

Matthew Broderick played Wilders role the musical remake of "The Producers", Broderick looked and acted like he was made of wood.

Thanks Rappy, we can appreciate good films because we came from an era where good films were in abundance. Now you have a handful, if that. The late 60s and 70s produced some truly quality American films. And you're right, they don't get much play these days.

Wow...good call. One of a list of off beat comedies from that era which simply don't get aired nearly enough ( or if at all ) , thanks to political correctness.
