The listing, DVD" IT'S A MAD,MAD, MAD,MAD,WORLD" HUGE STELLER CAST!! EXCELLENT! has ended.

The story is simple: a dying man's words lead to a race for $350,000 in cash buried near California's Santa Rosita Beach. Five witnesses decide to split the cash upon arrival...but they can't agree on distribution, so it's every man for himself. Featuring a cast of over 100 comedians (including starring roles for Spencer Tracy, Milton Berle, Mickey Rooney, Buddy Hackett, Sid Caesar, Edie Adams, Ethel Merman and newcomer Jonathan Winters, among others), Stanley Kramer's monumental It's A Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World (1963) is a raucous, chaotic comedy that's maintained a rabid following over the past 50 years. Though Kramer is perhaps better known for two sobering dramas that bookend Mad World's release (1961's Judgment at Nuremberg and 1967's Guess Who's Coming to Dinner, as well as 1965's Ship of Fools, which all won multiple Academy Awards), this remains one of the most ambitious and unconventional films of its era.

Clocking in at a whopping 161 minutes---and even longer, depending which cut you're familiar with---the General Release Version was initially trimmed against the director's wishes for its nationwide release. A financial gamble in every sense of the word, Mad World nonetheless did huge business at the box office and earned a successful re-release in 1970. The film's formula of "throw everything at the wall to see what sticks" seemed to pay off...and whether it's a countless number of celebrity cameos (including but not limited to Jack Benny, Norman Fell, Stan Freberg, Buster Keaton, Don Knotts, Jerry Lewis, Carl Reiner, The Shirelles,,Milton Burle. Spencer Tracy, Mickey Rooney, Terry Thomas,Ethel Merman, Buddy Hackett, etc.etc. Arnold Stang, Sammee Tong and The Three Stooges), varied locations or a continuous barrage of slapstick, the unpredictable and kinetic end result is truly something to behold. CONDITION EXCELLENT!
