Title

It’s a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad world

This wacky comedy classic directed by Stanley Kramer features one of the largest collection of American comedians ever brought together on celluloid resulting in the kind of far out comic gem that only the 1960s could dish out. Filled with sharp one liners, plenty of pratfalls and double takes, and unstoppable, slapstick humor, this film never stops, entertaining. The laughs come mostly from vehicle accidents of all kinds: car crashes, bike accidents, airplane failures, and almost everything else imaginable. But a good amount of humor is also lent to major wrestling matches, terrible mix ups and misunderstandings, and increasingly absurd personalities, such as Mrs. Marcus (Ethel Merman), the screeching, and impossible mother-in-law. The film even laughs at itself, showing it’s Flimsy cardboard sets as characters, punch out walls, or accidentally explode whole boxes of dynamite. The cast includes such Favoritos, Jonathan Winters, Phil Silvers, Milton, Berle, Buddy Hackett, Mickey Rooney, Sid Caesar, Spencer, Tracy, Terry Thomas, and Dick Shawn, among countless others. Brilliantly simple, the plot concerns, a caravan of motorist, who witnessed a terrible accident on a dangerously windy California highway. The auto crash victim (jimmy Durante) reveals in his dying words that he has hidden a fortune of stolen cash, sending the drivers on a Rambunctious race, to see who can claim the loot first! 4G
