Classics with Jeffrey Kash: It’s a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World

Dec 15

With an amazing all-star cast, this wild comedy shows otherwise normal people behaving outrageously in pursuit of big money. Several different motorists witness a single car crash in the California desert and, after the driver’s dying words indicate the location of a hidden stash of loot, turn against each other in a mad dash across the state to get to it. Nominated for five and winning one Oscar. (Stanley Kramer, 1963, USA, 2:55, NR)
