On Sunday, December 4, the Ziegfeld Theater -- the last of the really grand, one-screen movie houses in Manhattan, and long may it remain intact! -- was the site of a star-studded screening of the film version of the Mel Brooks-Thomas Meehan musical The Producers. Pictured here at the event are Matthew Broderick (left) and Nathan Lane (right), who respectively recreated their Broadway roles of Leo Bloom and Max Bialystock in the movie, with Uma Thurman (center), who plays Ulla in the flick.
