Some time ago my wife and I watched a TCM movie that predated Mel Brooks' "The Producers" that had a similar plot idea where a producer sold more than 100% of a play or movie and attempted to produce a flop. This movie was not a comedy like "The Producers" but a murder mystery. My wife believes that Ricardo Cortez stared in the movie, but we are not sure of that.
I am hoping that one of my fellow lovers of TCM can help me remember the title of that movie. It is driving us crazy. Ah memory, wish I still had one.
Thanking everyone in advance,
Arthur
