Just noticed this in The Producers movie

"A. Bancroft" and "T. Meehan Jr." are names listed beside the buttons that Max pushes during "Along Came Bialy".
Forgive me for NOT doing a search, but I'm not currently at home and not on high speed internet. Yes, I'm in the dark ages of Dial-up til Monday. Eek!

Anyone else notice this in the movie? You'd have to pause it to see. It's 4am and I'm up watching the movie in celebration of my local theatre company's auditions for the show next month.

What are some other cool little things you've noticed from movie musicals?

On her track on the DVD, Susan Stroman mentions the names on the mailboxes. She also says to watch the poster for King "Leer" when Ulla first enters the office. Really a great track to listen to while watching the film.
In spite of the poor reviews for the film. I really enjoy it.

"...and J. Gatsby, the main character in F. Scott Fitzgerald's The Great Gatsby."

Is there a reason Brooks chose to reference Mr. Gatsby's name on the buttons? Did he enjoy F. Scott Fitzgerald's works?

I don't know if the "Angel" tag in the Rent movie had to do with the character. It could have been a coincidence because they used names of people who worked at the studio and who were part of the crew's names as tags for the graffiti that was seen through out the movie.

In the Rent movie, during Rent when Mark and Roger burn Roger's old band posters, the band isn't The Well Hungarians, Roger's old band from the stage show. They're for MUTE, Adam Pascal's old band in real life.

I actually really like The Producers, but I cannot listen to Susan Stroman's commentary. I hate how she sounds so scripted.
