Stanley Kramer's 1963 It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World was in many ways a production that proved its title true, but in the end it was a hit, made money for everybody, even if they had to fight each other to get it, and remains a favorite for many who first saw it as kids.

Michael GebertHOST
His new book, Comedy is a Grim Business, which is something Stanley Kramer said about the making of his film, tells the story, including why the film won his heart when it first came out.

I started by asking him about his first experience of It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World.

So, even though that must might have preceded him that the saying might have preceded 1884 1917 it still had links to humanitarian um humanitarian activities so to say now there was a film by a film in 1938 classical biography biographical drama starring spencer tracy as father flanagan and mickey rooney so this um that phrase It's actually lived on for centuries, isn't it? I would say centuries, 142 years from 1884.
