READING . Read this text and do Task A and B 5 x 0.2= 1 mark

The Producers got mixed reviews. Some critics didn’t like it and said it wasn’t funny. Others thought it was
brilliant and Brooks won an Oscar for the screenplay (story and script). The film made only a small amount of
money, but it made Brooks famous, and he was the most successful comedy director of the 1970s with films
such as Blazing Saddles, Young Frankenstein and Silent Movie, all three starring Gene Wilder.

For eight years, between 1951 and 1959, Mostel wasn’t able to work in films or on stage in the USA because of
his political opinions, but he was a famous theatre actor and he had also appeared in a few films. He didn’t want
to be in The Producers at first, but his wife persuaded him that it was a good part when she read the script.

In 1968 Mel Brooks directed his first film from a script that he had written himself. The film was The Producers
and it has become famous as one of the funniest films ever made. There are two main actors in the film and they
are both perfect in their parts. Zero Mostel played Max Bialystock, a poor Broadway play producer.

The other lead actor was Gene Wilder, who had become famous in 1967 in the Oscar-winning film Bonnie and
Clyde. He had had only a small part in that film but had received good reviews. He had actually met Mel Brooks
in 1963, when he appeared in a play with Brooks’ wife, Anne Bancroft.
