An honest description of life in the movies
Stanley Kramer has been a lonely wolf in Hollywood. When he started at the end of 40's he was unique in his approach. He had many economical flops in a row, but then always had a real blockbuster. His strategy was to film controversial subjects with famous actors. Sometimes this worked very well. One must admire his courage. I have seen quite many of his pictures (Champion, Cyrano, High Noon, The Wild One, The Defiant Ones, Mad Mad Mad Mad World, Invitation to a Gunfighter) and liked them all. If you want to read about the making of films, this is for you. It does not tell much of personal life, which suits me well. Read and enjoy it! ... Read more

Excerpt: It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World is a 1963 American comedy film directed by Stanley Kramer about the madcap pursuit of $350,000 in stolen cash by a diverse and colorful group of strangers. The ensemble comedy premiered on November 7, 1963. "Smiler" Grogan (Jimmy Durante), a suspect in a long ago tuna factory robbery and on the run from the police, careens his car off a twisting, mountainous road in the Southern California desert and crashes. Five motorists stop to help him - Melville Crump (Sid Caesar), a dentist; Lennie Pike (Jonathan Winters), a furniture mover; Dingy Bell (Mickey Rooney) and Benjy Benjamin (Buddy Hackett), two friends on their way to Las Vegas; and J. Russell Finch (Milton Berle), who owns an edible seaweed company. Just before he kicks the bucket (quite literally), Grogan tells the five about $350,000 (equivalent to $2.5 million in 2010 US dollars) buried in the (fictitious) Santa Rosita State Park, near the Mexican border, under a mysterious "big W". Initially, the motorists try to reason with each other and share the money, but it soon becomes an all-out race to get the money first. Unbeknownst to them all, Captain Culpepper (Spencer Tracy) of the Santa Rosita Police Department has been patiently working on the "Smiler" Grogan case for years, hoping to someday solve it and retire. When he learns of the fatal crash, he suspects that Grogan may have tipped off the passersby, so he has them tracked by various police units. His suspicions are confirmed by their behavior. Everyone experiences multiple setbacks on their way to the money. Crump and his wife Monica (Edie Adams) charter a shabby World War I biplane and harrowingly ...http://booksllc.net/?id=18952889 ...

I love Amazon!
I love ordering from amazon. The books come fast and when expected. I perfer to order from amazon versus private sellers because amazon stands behind all your purchases. When you have a problem you never have to wait. Amazon handels all issues promptly.

My book
The book came on time and in perfect condition. But when I opened the book for the first time the glue on the spine of the book started to come undone and the pages started to fall out. NOT SELLERS FALT! I fixed it by getting a spiral bind on it, but I thought the seller should know.

Great deal!!!
