Editorial Review:
Amazon.com: Stanley Kramer's sprawling 1963 comedy about a search for buried treasure by at least a dozen people--all played by well-known entertainers of their day--is the kind of mass comedy that Hollywood hasn't made in many years. (Another example from around the same time is Blake Edwards's The Great Race.) After a number of strangers (including Milton Berle, Jonathan Winters, Sid Caesar, Phil Silvers, and others) witness a dying stranger (Jimmy Durante) identify the location of hidden money, a conflict-ridden hunt begins, watched over carefully by a suspicious cop (Spencer Tracy). The ensuing two and a half hours of mayhem has its ups and downs--some bits and performers are certainly funnier than others. But Kramer, who is better known for socially conscious, serious cinema (Guess Who's Coming to Dinner?), is in a mood for broad comic characterization, and some of his jokes are so intentionally obvious (Durante literally kicks a bucket when he dies), they'd have a place in Airplane! Watch for lots of cameo appearances, including Jerry Lewis (who had called Kramer and asked him why he hadn't been invited to participate). --Tom Keogh

I remember seeing this movie when it first came out at the movie Theater
Purchasing this DVD reminded me just how funny this movie really is. This movie was made in 1963 and over the years there have been few movies with the same theme but none of them and I mean none of them have come close to the quality of this movie. Like the old Hitchcock Classics this is truly one of Stanley Kramer's best Comedy Classics. So if you're feeling depressed or you just need a good laugh I reccomend this movie. ... Read More

Great, cazy awesome, and narly. A comidy thats not meant to be moving, just plain old funny and to keep you on your toes at all times. Some of the jokes are laugh-out-loud funny, some are so bad they make you laugh anyway. Remember to watch for the dieing man to "kick the bucket."

This movie has a special place in my memories. My dad took the family to see it at he Cinerama Dome in Hollywood in '64, when I was about 10 years old. I thought it was funny then, but I have really gotten to appreciate it more as time has passed.
When it was made, every top billing commedian in the business was calmoring over each other to get into this film. It is a monument to all the great commedians of the time, a virtual curtain call of the great film and stage comedy acts of that ... Read More

This is one of the funniest movies ever made. Each comedian is outstanding in his or her role. If you want to laugh lots, then this one is for you.
