As you know, I'm a big fan of the 1963 movie It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World…though really only when it's on a big screen in an actual movie theater with a lively, packed audience. As far as I'm concerned, if you haven't seen it that way, you haven't seen it. I still recommend the superb Criterion DVD/Blu Ray release of the film with me and two pals on the commentary track…but please experience the film as God and Stanley Kramer intended it before you watch it in your den. (God, by the way, is the only filmmaker who really and truly gets "final cut.")
The fine writer Craig Shemin informs me that the Museum of the Moving Image in Queens, New York is showing a 70mm print of my beloved film on August 31, September 1, September 7 and September 8. Details are here…and if/when you visit, check out the Jim Henson exhibit they have there.
