It’s a Mad Mad Mad Mad World!
If you haven’t noticed I like the comedies.
In these days where we are bombarded with news of war, natural disasters and economic turmoil, its important to remember to laugh.
If there is one comedy that should be on your Netflix cue, its a Mad Mad Mad Mad World.
This film is considered by many the godfather of all comedies.
Not only is it one of the funniest movies ever made; it’s line up of comedic and dramatic actors is untouched and includes:
- Sid Caesar
- Buddy Hackett
- Jonathan Winters
- Milton Berle
- Jimmy Durante
- Terry Thomas
- Ethel Merman
- Spencer Tracy
- Jim Backus
- Peter Falk
- Eddie Anderson
- Jack Benny
- Edie Adams
- Mickey Rooney
- Phil Silvers
- Don Knotts
- Jerry Lewis
- The Three Stooges
- and many many more….
The story follows a bunch of travelers who come across a dying con man who runs his car off the highway. With his last dying breath he tells all of them of a vast fortune that can be found under a "big W’.
Well you can probably guess what happens from here - its a dash for the cash and "mad"ness ensues.
Though over 40 years old, the movie has aged well and proves that true comedy is not sex, fart or drug jokes. It is a true classic that deserves a viewing by any fan of comedy.
Its a Mad Mad Mad Mad World: With 3 hours running its a lot of laughter. Don’t worry there is an intermission - seriously there is!!
