I won't get into a pissing match about this film. Mad, Mad World is more than anything Kramer's homage to the films of his youth. He said so himself. As a film buff I recognize many of the little in jokes and asides in the film. It's been one of my favorite comedies since it was first released.

Beneath all that madcap foolery is an intelligent movie with something to say about greed and stupidity. I don't think it's crass or unsubtle. If people don't get it, they aren't paying attention.
