The Producers
Meetmeatthemuny

They find Springtime for Hitler, a valentine to Hitler written by Franz Liebkind (Brad Oscar), a Nazi playwright and pigeon breeder (even the pigeons sport swastikas on their wings) living in Greenwich Village. Max cons his harem of white-haired ladies who back his plays out of $2 million.

"Every individual has a given number of heartbeats, and I don": the show's own period marketing line.
