    1. Singularity

      When a milquetoast accountant explains to a washed-up Jewish producer how to make a fortune by producing a flop, the two partner up to produce a Broadway show guaranteed to bomb, a romantic musical about Hitler. (36 words)

      It seems to me that the juicy bait on the hook of the story — how to win big at the bank by losing big at the box-office — is that that a romantic musical about Hitler is not being produced by an anti-Semite but by a Jew. (And now? I can’t get the lyrics for “Springtime for Hitler” out of my head.)? So I don’t think the logline needs to have? the plot twist, that the guaranteed flop becomes a smash hit and now they’re facing financial ruin and jail.

      fwiw
