Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. What does Max Bialystock call the first "little old lady" to leave his office?

Answer: Old Buzzard

The picture opens with the silhouettes of two old homo sapiens enjoined in a compromising position, doing God-doesn't-want-to-know-what. When the old lady gives him the check, he says goodbye to her, and as she leaves, his disposition changes to a grumpy snarl, and he mutters, "Old Buzzard".

2. What is the nickname of the next woman to enter his office?

Answer: Hold me, Touch me

We find this answer early on when Max Bialystock is searching for her picture. While doing so, he mutters, "Hold me, Touch me" as if reminding himself of her name. He does at last find the picture in time.

3. What type of belt does Max Bialystock say he is wearing, when first talking to Leo Bloom?

Answer: Cardboard

In the middle of Max Bialystock's eloquent soliloquy, when he is talking about his current lifestyle, he suddenly bursts out, "I'm wearing a cardboard belt!" and tears it up in pieces.

4. Who thought up the "scheme"?

Answer: Leo Bloom

Max Bialystock, after his Shakespearean tirade, went to lie down on the couch, leaving Leo Bloom to doctor his books. While Max was falling asleep, Leo Bloom formulated the scheme out loud, and Max jumped on the opportunity.

5. What does the scheme call for, to manipulate?

Answer: The worst play ever written

The correct answer is the worst play ever written. What else would a comic genius like Mel Brooks think to use?

6. Who is the author of "Springtime for Hitler"?

Answer: Franz Liebkind

Max Bialystock's a producer, not a playwright. Wagner wrote operas, and while the concept of using Arthur Miller would have been funny, common sense will prevail when you simply analyze Mel Brook's humour, there is no other choice that seems plausible.

7. Who was director Roger De Bris dressed as, for his upcoming costume ball?

Answer: The Duchess Anastasia

When Bialystock & Bloom first meet the potential director, he is getting dressed for a costume ball. He says that he is going as the Duchess Anastasia, and that this year he is not sure he will win.

8. Which of these actors did not have a role in "The Producers"?

Answer: Cleavon Little

Cleavon Little portrayed Sheriff Bart in Brooks' "Blazing Saddles", but had no part in "The Producers".

9. What percentage of "Springtime for Hitler" do Bialystock and Bloom end up selling?

Answer: 25,000 %

Leo says to Max, "Max, you can only sell 100% of anything." Max says, "And how much of Springtime for Hitler have we sold?"
Leo says, "25,000 percent". Voila, your answer!

10. When Bialystock and Bloom are sent to jail at the end of the film, they begin work on an original musical entitled_______.

Answer: Prisoners of Love

No, the title of the movie didn't come from their last play, and it certainly wasn't Juliet. Do you remember that last scene with Franz Liebkind playing the piano, Max Bialystock directing the dancing prisoners, and Leo Bloom collecting investments? Yes, it's "Prisoners of Love".
