    Criterion Press Release: It's A Mad Mad Mad Mad World (Dual Format)

    Very few movies and TV shows make me laugh out loud more often than IAMMMMW and WML. Here is our good friend Benjy Benjamin and a famous TV lawyer together on the same stage back in 1962 during the filming of IAMMMMW. Enjoy! What's My Line? - Raymond Burr; Buddy Hackett [panel] (Jun 3, 1962)

    Mr. Rooney and all of the departed cast members of IAMMMMW will live forever in our hearts (and on my 2.76x1 screen from time to time.)

    Wouldn't it be nice if the remaining elements of IAMMMMW could be preserved as well as the magic that keeps Kim Novak and Joan Rivers from self destructing... On second thought...

    The Criterion general release includes the entr'acte.

    I guess "JSP" must have ignored the disclaimer at the beginning of the restored version that explained what was about to unfold. But, then again, "JSP" probably fast forwarded past the sections that had a black screen with just music playing as well.

    The jumble of names with "Keaton" at the very bottom, upside down and at an angle is also on the MGM Blu-ray. And, if I recall correctly, it's always been that way.

    Next time have a friend in the U.S. who has Amazon Prime buy one for you, re-package it, and ship it to you as a gift with low $ value. To quote the words of the late, great Sid Caesar: "I'm sure he's not gonna declare anything. And I know, I know he's not going to declare anything. And I'm...

    We've been losing so many lately. So sad. Good bye Mr. Caesar. Thanks for all the laughs.

    I still have over 10 years of back issues of "The LDN". Always read it cover to cover when the postman delivered it each month. Let my subscription lapse back in the late nineties when the immediacy of the internet pretty much ended my waiting for printed media to arrive. Happy to see that Mr...

    "F-7" Does sound a lot like Walter Matthau.

    Welcome to the forum. :) I also own the IAMMMMW extended laserdisc. It does not include the police calls. To my knowledge, the new Blu-ray is the first home video release to include them. But I'll forgive that minor error in an otherwise wonderful, all inclusive commentary. Best I've listened...

    Just wanted to thank Charles, Rich, and Roland for making last nights IAMMMMW restoration party a rousing success! And, of course, the biggest THANK YOU of all goes out to Mr. Robert A Harris and the entire team who made the restoration a reality. I truly believe that this great film would have...

    This has become the all purpose, everything but the kitchen sink, IAMMMMW thread. Similar to what the ..."While we wait for Lawrence of Arabia" thread became. I'd vote to keep it going. :)

    BTW Ron, I didn't read your spoilers. Since I have never seen the complete roadshow version (although I do still have, and have watched the laserdisc). I want to save some of what little surprises can possibly be left for a die hard IAMMMMW fan for Tuesday evening. I'm sure that there will be...
