Candice LimGUEST
The dome was opened back in 1963, and it's the first and only concrete geodesic dome in the world.
Candice LimGUEST
For decades, it was known as the place to watch the latest blockbuster, and the first film they ever screened was It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World, a Stanley Kramer-directed comedy starring Buster Keaton.
Candice LimGUEST
Then it became this marquee place to hold premieres, similar to Grauman's Chinese Theater.
Candice LimGUEST
And the Dome made it fun.

mad, mad, mad!

And so begins the maddest, wildest, zaniest chase ever filmed, as our merrymakers race across country by land, by sea, It was the most expensive comedy ever made to that point.
speaker_6SOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
In fact, it pretty much invented the idea of a comedy of that scale and cost.

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
A group that includes James Curtis, who's known for his biographies of people like Spencer Tracy, Buster Keaton, W.C. Fields, and others.
Geoffrey HalesGUEST
And it's...
Geoffrey HalesGUEST
Stanley Kramer directing On the Beach on Frankston Beach.
NeilHOST
Whoa, whoa.
Geoffrey HalesGUEST
So
C. Courtney JoynerGUEST
I mean, people were recognizing his talent as a director, and he was an independent darling and all that stuff.
C. Courtney JoynerGUEST
Stanley Kramer tagged him to direct a movie, and a good friend of mine actually was in it, called A Child is Waiting with Judy Garland and Burt Lancaster.
C. Courtney JoynerGUEST
And it was about working with mentally disabled children.
C. Courtney JoynerGUEST
And they went to a home for, you know, unfortunate kids and used real ones.
Rob LucuriaHOST
my god you're
Charlie BrightHOST
funny um my number uh five is judgment at nuremberg uh fantastic stanley kramer movie that looked at what happened afterwards and trying to bring some sort of punishment to the people who perpetrated the greatest human rights atrocity of our time.
Charlie BrightHOST
Fantastic, amazing performances all around.
Charlie BrightHOST
Burt Lancaster, Spencer Tracy, and my two favorite performances in there, Montgomery Clift and Judy Garland are absolutely showstopper performances.
Sal AbbinantiGUEST
She said the wh- it, it, they ruined more takes, 'cause the director, Kramer, was laughing his ass off.
John SiuntresHOST
Stanley Kramer, yeah.
Sal AbbinantiGUEST
Improvising.
Sal AbbinantiGUEST
And, and so yet for him to hold his own against that cast i- is incredible.
Joshua RayHOST
films.
Joshua RayHOST
The first being Stanley Kramer's big-budget, star-studded depiction of the Nazi trials, then NASA is a documentary.
Joshua RayHOST
And I don't want to get into the specifics of it, because I do want people to go and see it.
Joshua RayHOST
That's part of what I struggled with in writing about it, but...
Bruce CookGUEST
Yeah, well, guess what?
Suzanne LloydGUEST
I went to see that the other night, and Stanley Kramer's wife, Karen Sharp, and Kat, her daughter, put it on at the Fine Arts Theater in Beverly Hills this last Sunday afternoon, a 2 o'clock matinee.
Suzanne LloydGUEST
The place was packed.
Suzanne LloydGUEST
There wasn't even a seat in the house to go see
Dennis BartokHOST
And it is a really grim, like, devastatingly sad movie.
Dennis BartokHOST
It reminds me of, of the kind of films that Stanley Kramer, of course, Judgment at Nuremberg and others made in the U.S. in the 50s and 60s that were very socially conscious.
Dennis BartokHOST
Um, the first two films in the set are, uh, The Murderers Are Among Us, which was the, um, the first film that was made by DEFA Studios in the post-war period.
Dennis BartokHOST
And it also launched what became known as the rubble film genre.
Tony MaiettaHOST
Everything is fair game in comedy, and a lot of people don't agree with that.
Tony MaiettaHOST
But when you think about it, as Stanley Kramer said, uh, when he was talking about Guess Who's Coming to Dinner and as we said, the best way to get audiences to pay attention to something you're telling them is to do it in a comedy.
Tony MaiettaHOST
When people are laughing, they're more open to absorbing the message, I believe.
Tony MaiettaHOST
And so it's no, it's no accident that the first films to deal with the Nazi threat, the Nazi menace, in Hollywood were actually done by comedians.
