Review of It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World (1963) by Jeff H — 28 Jul 2011
I consider this the best comedy film of all time, & my personal favorite. A veritable who's-who of the top comedy talent of the day compete for a hidden cache of money hidden somewhere in Southern California.
Jam-packed with hysterical dialogue, manic car-chases, rollicking action-sequences (The taxi & fireman's-ladder sequences are standouts-), & superior performances by the amazingly-talented zanies populating the film, I guarantee your sides will ache from all the laughing you'll do! Sid Caesar, Ethel Merman, Terry-Thomas, Buddy Hackett, Phil Silvers, Johnathan Winters, & the great & maniacal Dick Shawn, in particular, steal the show.
(The Three Stooges even make an appearance!) A must-see for all comedy fans, crammed with a delightful plethora of iconic comedy legends. A bona fide classic!
