I'm going to finish watching "It's A Mad, Mad, Mad World!" Ask me anything

[joeybee12]

I know I saw it a long time ago, but don't recall much. It's fun watching it to see all the old greats who, for the most part, are sadly no longer around. But it's too much slapstick for my tastes.

The good parts are Ethel Merman as the world's worst mother-in-law, and the fight between Terry Thomas and Milton Berle! They get pissed at each other and start acting macho, but they fight like a couple of sissies! One hits the other, and then goes running off screaming!

1. This is my favorite Comedy Movie of all time

Pure Comedy from some of the most talented Comdians
of all time .

4. Three minutes into the opening credits and they're STILL listing actors!

EVERYONE was in this movie!

2. Dick Shawn as Sylvester is genius

And whoever the girlfriend is was equally inspired...

3. He died pretty young, didn't he? I wonder if this was before or after

"The Producers." I'm too lazy to check right now!

9. MMMW was before the Producers. Shawn lived to 64.

I guess that's pretty young, but then again, an extreme lifestyle can cut short those pesky retirement years.

12. You betcha!

Momma! I'm coming for ya! Momma!

just one of many hilarious parts...Jonathan Winters tearing down the building was extremely funny too!

5. Have you ever seen a better "kicking the bucket" scene?

[WoodrowFan]

6. what brand of beer is the can that gets kicked?

[Spinzonner]

7. By contemporary standards, of course, it's now a documentary

[lapfog_1]

8. I think even "W" made an appearance at the end of the film

Right?

10. I just finished it--I was really hoping Spencer and Milton Berle's wife

would get away with the money. I think they didn't just so Ethel Merman could fall on her ass.
