The answer: This photo of this attractive lady appears on the back cover of the new DVD release of the classic Mel Brooks film, The Producers. Now, the next question is "Why?" Is this individual even in the film? The only attractive blonde in the whole movie is Lee Meredith, who plays the Swedish-speaking Ulla. That doesn't look like her to me, and nowhere in the movie does Ulla wear an outfit even vaguely like that. She wears a raincoat, an elegant gown and a bikini. The "Truth in Advertising" part of me thinks that it's dumb to put this photo on the cover since what they're selling is a zany, hip comedy, and potential buyers need to be reminded of its brilliant performances and legendary bad taste. Is anyone really going to purchase this movie based on sex appeal? And if they do, won't they be really, really disappointed? Or conversely, let's say I'm wrong and there are guys who will check out the packaging of The Producers to see if there might be any hot babes in the film. Wouldn't it then make more sense to use one of the photos of Lee Meredith in her bikini? There are plenty of those around (some even in the DVD's photo gallery) and they actually depict what's in the movie.
Should you wish to ponder these questions further, you can order a copy of The Producers from the Amazon folks by clicking here. But I didn't bring this up just to sell DVDs for them. Honest.
