It's A Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World - The Criterion Collection

Zavvi

STANLEY KRAMER followed his Oscar-winning Judgment 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 hare-brained 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 playingto-the-rafters comedy legends. For sheer scale of silliness, Kramer's wildly uncharacteristic film is unlike any other, an exhilarating epic of tomfoolery.TWO BLU-RAY SPECIAL EDITION FEATURES:Restored 4K digital film transfer of the general release version of the film, with 5.1surround DTS-HD Master Audio soundtrackNew high-definition digital transfer of a 197-minute extended version of the film,reconstructed and restored by Robert A.
