The Producers was the first film directed by Mel Brooks. He won an Academy Award for Best Original Screenplay, along with Thomas Meehan. Decades later, it was selected for preservation in the National Film Registry and placed 11th on the AFI's 100 Years...100 Laughs list. The film was later remade successfully by Brooks and Meehan as an acclaimed Broadway Stage Musical which itself was adapted as a film.
