Ladies and Gentlemen:

         At your request, we have examined the Registration Statement on Form
S-3 (the Registration Statement") to which this letter is attached as Exhibit
5.1 filed by The Producers Entertainment Group Ltd., a Delaware corporation (the
"Company"), in order to register under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended
(the "Act), (i) up to 525,000 shares of the Common Stock, par value $0.001 per
share (the "Shares"), of a certain selling stockholder (the "Selling
Stockholder") issuable pursuant to that certain securities purchase agreement
between the Company and the Selling Stockholder dated July 31, 1998 ( the
"Securities Purchase Agreement").

         We are of the opinion that the Shares have been duly authorized and,
upon issuance and sale in conformity with and pursuant to the Securities
Purchase Agreement, will be legally and validly issued, fully paid and
non-assessable.

         We consent to the use of this opinion as an Exhibit to the Registration
Statement and to the reference to our firm under the caption "Legal Matters."

                                            Respectfully submitted,
