A few days ago here, I wrote this…
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.
I am informed that between now and Halloween, there will be a chance for those in the Los Angeles area to see the picture on a big screen in an actual movie theater with a lively, packed audience. The details will be announced here as soon as I get them.
