The American comedian Mel Brooks broke a taboo with his parody of Hitler in the 1967 film The Producers. Despite some criticism for this satirical portrayal, Brooks’ work was crowned with success and parodies became his trademark.

Celebrate Brooks’ parodic genius with a double feature film screening of the original 1967 version of The Producers (directed by Mel Brooks and starring Zero Mostel and Gene Wilder) and the lesser-known 1983 remake of To Be Or Not To Be (starring Mel Brooks and Anne Bancroft).

Museum Admission is included in the cost of each ticket. DEGENERATE! Hitler’s War on Modern Art will be available to view throughout both screening times. Docents will be in the exhibit to answer questions and give short tours from 4:00 – 7:00 p.m. Feel free to bring your own snacks, drinks, and chair cushions! Note: Snacks and drinks are not allowed in the exhibit galleries and must stay in the film screening room.
