In 1963, a veritable "Who's Who" of film comedy was assembled by director Stanley Kramer for this slapstick extravaganza. The storyline: a group of strangers learns about $350,000 in hidden loot from a dying gangster and sets off on a madcap cross-country race to find it.
Here's the long list of stars (in alphabetical order) for this impressive epic movie: Terry-Thomas , Edie Adams, Eddie "Rochester" Anderson, Jim Backus, Jack Benny, Milton Berle, Paul Birch, Ben Blue, Joe E. Brown, Sid Caesar, Alan Carney, Chick Chandler, Barrie Chase, Stanley Clements, Lloyd Corrigan, William Demarest, Andy Devine, Selma Diamond, Jimmy Durante, Roy Engel, Peter Falk, Norman Fell, Paul Ford, Stan Freberg, Leo Gorcey, Buddy Hackett, Don Harvey, Sterling Holloway, Edward Everett Horton, Allen Jenkins, Marvin Kaplan, Buster Keaton, Tom Kennedy, Don Knotts, Charles Lane, Harry Lauter, Ben Lessy, Bobo Lewis, Jerry Lewis, Mike Mazurki, Charles McGraw, Ethel Merman, Cliff Norton, Barbara Pepper, ZaSu Pitts, Dorothy Provine, Carl Reiner, Roy Roberts, Mickey Rooney, Eddie Ryder, Dick Shawn, Howard Da Silva, Phil Silvers, Arnold Stang, The Three Stooges, Nick Stuart, Spencer Tracy, Doodles Weaver, Jesse White and Jonathan Winters.
This is a must-see movie that will hold up over and over again to repeat viewing. Unlike the later two box-set release, the original video release produced a single videotape in one standard carton.
