Description: Stanley Kramer followed his Oscar-winning Judgement at Nuremberg with this sobering investigation of American greed. Ah, who are we kidding. It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World, about a group of strangers fighting tooth and nail over buried treasure, is the most grandly harebrained movie ever made, a pileup of slapstick and borscht-belt-y one-liners performed by a nonpareil cast, including Milton Berle, Sid Caesar, Ethel Merman, Mickey Rooney, Spencer Tracy, Jonathan Winters, and a boatload of other playing-to-the-rafters comedy legends. For sheer scale of silliness, Kramer's wildly uncharacteristic film is unlike any other, an exhilarating epic of tomfoolery.THREE-DVD SPECIAL EDITION FEATURES - Restored 4K digital film transfer of the general release version of the film- High-definition digital transfer of a 202-minute extended version of the film, reconstructed and restored by Robert A.
