IT'S A MAD, MAD, MAD, MAD WORLD (1963)

Stanley Kramer strikes a gem with this "mad" comedy about convict Smiley Grogan, who, after release from a very long prison sentence, ventures to a California park where he allegedly his $350,000 from a job long past.  En route, however, he accidentally careens off a cliff with four witnesses to testify.  As the onlookers rush to help him, his dying words hint at a buried treasure, sending the four witnesses on a mad dash to hoard the cash for one's own!

The large steller cast includes: Spencer Tracy, Edie Adams, Milton Berle, Sid Caesar, Jimmy Durante, Buddy Hackett, Ethel Merman, Mickey Rooney, Dick Shawn, Dorothy Provine, Phil Silvers, Jonathan Winters, Peter Falk, Terry-Thomas, Andy Devine, and Eddie "Rochester" Anderson.

Director Stanley Kramer's "It's A Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World" is a wild, frequently funny, epic comedy.
