Panic Button Movie Review 1962

Mel Brooks took the plot from this film and made "The Producers," which was much better. Italian gangsters produce a TV show and stack the deck so that it will fail. Unbeknownst to them, the star has figured out what they are doing and works to make it a success. Shot in Italy, mainly in Venice and Rome.
