Since I've been writing about Mike Schlesinger here, I thought I oughta post this photo that was taken on September 29, 2019 at the Cinerama Dome Theater. That was the theater in which It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World opened — a theater literally built to show it — and a bunch of us were there that day to see it for the umpteenth time on that amazing screen. The pins were wearing were to commemorate whatever anniversary it was.
Dave Woodman is a fine cartoonist and Mad World historian. The other three are Mad World historians who are heard on the commentary track for the Criterion DVD and Blu-ray of that movie. Paul Scrabo is a producer and jack-of-all-crafts in the TV and movie businesses. Collectively, the four of us have probably seen this movie three jillion times. After the film, my lady friend and I left but Mike stayed around outside for an hour answering questions about the film for all who had just enjoyed it.
