Did anyone else notice that when, early in film, there's a close-up of a newspaper review for "Funny Boy," the reviewer's byline is Addison DeWitt? That, of course, is the character name of George Sanders' smarmy theatre critic in "All About Eve." Any other little "Producers' treasures" that you guys have spotted?

In the courtroom scene when Leo enters in his white suit. Look at his pocketsilk - it's his blue blanket.

And can we just comment on Brent Barrett's abs in "Keep It Gay?" Holy smoke! he was the leather guy.

oh brent...

I loved the little "King Leer" poster in Max's office in the beginning, i seriosuly laughed and laughed and no one else was...and yeah. It was classic.

I also liked the skull he had in his room.

Also, in "You Never Say Good Luck on Opening Night", the posters in the back were of real Broadway shows. I caught "The Sound of Music", "My Fair Lady", and "Redhead".
