It’s a Mad Mad Mad Mad World (1963) Appreciation Thread

Sigh. Your post says " Video unavailable.The uploader has not made the video available in your country."

 

Thanks for your efforts..but they're in vain.

 

I have Tubi here in Jamaica but some of the titles are unavailable.

 

If you have access to Movieland tv, I'm almost certain that one woukd be available.

 

I'll look into it.

 

My 62 year old aunt took me to see this for my birthday when it came out because I was a Jonathan Winters fan. My dad used to wake me up when he was on the Jack Parr Show. My aunt had no appreciation for it at all but was a good sport in taking me.

 

I just rewatched inherit the wind (1960)

Stanley Kramer from 1958 to 1967 directed some incredible movies.

Lots of Spencer Tracy in his films.

 

The Criterion discs, besides the great image quality, the sound was rebalanced and the movie sounds great with the roller coaster score. I love the score, thank you Ernest Gold.

 

Here i found a very interesting article about the Big W! Hope you like it

When Jonathan Winters delivers...

But! Sid Ceasar's wife saw it first.

 

Actually played by Dororthy Provine as (Emeline Marcus-Finch) J. Russell Finch's wife!

​

 

With 350 big ones she could live in a convent!

 

I love that film! Is it streaming anywhere?

 

D'oh!
Seen this movie a hundred times. You'd think I'd know it was Milton Berle's wife who first spotted the big double ya.

 

This was the VHS edition I was alluding to upthread.

 

I remember renting that from Tower Records. It was the first time I saw it letterboxed since its initial run in theatres. It used to look terrible as a pan and scan on TTV.

 

It was also the color source Robert Harris used for his reconstruction of the premiere cut.

 

That VHS version pictured was the first version of the movie I ever bought. It was a used copy, a former rental, from Victory Video (a self-contained video store inside of
a Great American supermarket).

 

What is the difference between the LaserDisc edition and the Criterion Dvd/Bluray?
I have the Criterion Blu Ray and is fantastic!

 

I love these guys.

 

Jim Backus' "Delicious" is one of my all time favorite songs. "I Need a Vacation" and "Caveman" are pretty damn good as well.
