What is The Great Dictator/ The Producers about?

THE GREAT DICTATOR, 1940, 127 min. Dir. Charles Chaplin. The physical resemblance between the Tramp and another famous man with a little black mustache was not lost on Chaplin. In his first all-talking picture, he plays both a Jewish barber and his double, Adenoid Hynkel, the absolute ruler of Tomainia. As Hynkel and his henchmen Herring and Garbitsch engineer the persecution of Jews and the invasion of neighboring Osterlich, the amnesiac barber may be the only person innocent enough to stop them. THE PRODUCERS, 1968, 88 min. Mel Brooks' directorial debut follows two Broadway producers - con man Zero Mostel and sheepish Gene Wilder - deciding to get rich by selling shares in what will be a guaranteed flop, and is one of the funniest comedies of the 1960s.
