“It’s A Mad Mad Mad Mad World”!
Great actors, great chases and action, funny as heck, not a single cuss word, no T&A and for a car guy like me, a fun movie to watch!😀
Love that Fairlane that Don Knots is driving too.

It’s one of the great ones.

Johnathan Winters was at his best as were many others in the film.

Excellent entertainment.

Loved that movie. How they got that many celebrities together in one movie and still made a great film is quite a feat.

61 here. I must have been 7-8 when I saw it the first time. I've never passed up the chance to watch it and actually have it on dvd.

Had another Hollywood actor I sold guns to that told me Jonathan Winters was a “gun nut”.

And also a real nut. 🤪

Saw him on The show with Carson a few times, he could get Johnny rolling. Only other guy who could do that was Dangerfield..
Spencer Tracy is one of the few actors who can get me to watch a movie I’m not really interested in just to see him act. He’s surely one of the greats!

Winters was also a Marine. He enlisted at 17 in '43. He was in a Marine detachment on the carrier Bon Homme Richard at the end of the war.

I also feel that Spencer Tracy is one of the greats. Have you seen him in "Inherit the Wind"? If not, you certainly should. In fact, it would do everyone a great deal of good to watch it.

I enjoy that movie, have seen it a million times. We have it on DVD, I think I picked up a Walmart a number of years ago for like $5.00

I believe you mean there were 2 Curlys. The original Curly and then later Curly Joe. The original Curly, Moe's real life brother , was dead by the time this film was made. It's sad too as Curly Joe was never like the original.

If you want to educate someone on what Hollywood USE to be this movie would go a long way on doing that. The cast is unbelievable, the cameos and bit rolls by well known stars are in the double digits. For instance, does everyone remember Buster Keaton making an appearance? I had completely forgot that part until a friend reminded me . Legendary movie.

Very good and funny movie. I've watched it quite a few times., Better than the crap that Hollywood makes today.
