"It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World" is on TCM at 7 pm tonight (6/23/04) -- has a VERY tiki scene -- It's when Ethel Merman calls her beach bum son Dick Shawn -- the phone at his "pad" rings and rings while he dances with his girlfriend, and the decor in the background is 100% tiki, up to and including a very nifty tiki bar. Check it out! SS |

Will do, thanks for the tip. I don't remember that scene but that's a wacky movie. |

it comes fairly early in the movie -- it's after the principals split up and go after the treasure on their own; Ethel Merman hooks up with Terry Thomas and after a bit she makes him stop and places a phone call to her son -- that's when the scene(s) (there's two) occur -- You WON'T be disappointed!

I have the DVD, and its one of those movies I bring out every so often, and I heartily recommend it if you haven't seen it. Here are some screen snaps of the Tiki bar. Dick Shawn is very amusing in this scene (nice wahine too. :))

No, but they look a lot alike. According to IMDB, her name is "Barrie Chase". More info on her here. [ Edited by: MutantTiki on 2004-06-25 13:32 ] |

Funny thing about Mad World ... when I saw it as a child I thought it was stupid and boring. Now that I'm old and grizzled I think it's one of the funniest movies I've ever seen (must be all the Zombies). Andy btw, my KIDS think it's a stupid movie. Of course, they think I'm stupid, too, but as I always tell them, it takes a lot of talent and a deft hand to make a good Zombie! |

Here is a picture of where a whole scene (different song)was cut out. You can get a different view of the beach pad. Bad lighting. |

Where a whole scene was cut? How did you get this? I agree lighting is bad. But I need more Mad World tiki beach pad scenes, more I tell you, I'm still not satisfied! |

She has a very Amanda Pete/Jennifer Garner quality about her. I think a remake is in order! |

An artist named Bob Lizarraga came out with a cool print of this scene. Is this person a Tiki Central member? He has some other cool prints on his website. |

"Look under the big W" I run hot and cold on this. One time I'll catch it and hoot like and idiot. The next, I'll wonder why I ever thought that thing was funny. I heard tell that there was a revival of the complete restored print sometime around 1999-2000. Is this the version currently available, or is it still the much shortened version? |

Last I heard, there's little chance of every finding enough footage to get it back to 192 minutes. 192 minutes---geez! |

Mutant Tiki, Any idea what the song is that Dick Shawn is dancing to when his mother calls? I have always wanted to get a copy of it. It is hillariuos becase every time the song stops, the phone rings and they just keep dancing. |

I have always considered Stanley Kramer's IT'S A MAD, MAD, MAD, MAD WORLD one of my personal favorite films. I loved it when I was a kid, and I love it today! That film is as old as I am (oops... did I type that out loud just now?) By the way... the songs Dick Shawn dances to in the film are THIRTY-ONE FLAVORS and YOU SATISFY MY SOUL, both sung by The Shirelles. I was fortunate to have attended the 25TH anniversary re-premiere at the Cinerama Dome in Hollywood, CA (also where the film originally premiered in 1963). I have to admit the Sylvester Marcus (Dick Shawn) character has always been my favorite in the film. And to quote his character for all you tiki gods and goddesses who aren't as thrilled about this film as I am: "Out, baby. Out, baby. Out!" tee-hee;-) THE GHASTLY LOVE OF JOHNNY X is now in production! [ Edited by: Ottermole 2005-09-15 09:54 ] [ Edited by: Ottermole 2005-09-15 10:02 ] |

Copy the song from the movie. I bought the soundtrack, and for some reason, The LP/CD version is slower than the movie version. (?) |

Funniest scene ever with a tiki in it, actually it's the funniest scene period. Saw this the other night for the first time in many years. Last time I saw it I wasn't even in to tiki but remembered the scene. Here's the scene on youtube. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Uosu6nqO80 [ Edited by: FLOUNDERart 2008-04-15 10:48 ] |

Thank god for U-Tube, allowing us to view the stellar scenes from any movie. Imagine this on a large CinemaScope screen! That scene is an instant good mood pill, perhaps only eclipsed by "Jaan Pehechaan Ho": Of course Dick Shawn is my favorite Beatnik Adolf Hitler ever in the original "Producers". |

OK! Now I'm beginning to understand why my non-tiki friends think I'm a little weird! I absolutely LOVED that Jaan Pehechaan Ho clip! Where the hell is that from? Oh, and by the way, I'm definitely gonna order a couple of Bob's prints! Great stuff! |

I always liked this movie, and the ensamble is amazing. Jimmy Durante kicking the bucket (literally), a classic. |

This has always been one of my all-time favorite flicks - I watch it at least once a year and always get a laugh out of it. As a comedy, its timeless. (of course it features the Cyclone Racer and the Long Beach Pike and thats reason enough to raise a toast to it) |

One of my all time favorite movies. When birdgirl and I were recently in California I decided spontaneously one day to go find the "big W" and recreate a photo like this one, but when I looked up the location I was saddened to learn that the last of the trees died in 2008. Bummer. Anyone ever get there? |

An absolute crazy ass classic. This film needs to be viewed on the latest dvd in widescreen. PBS just showed it here in L.A. and didn't present it in widescreen. If you don't like this movie then I don't need to know you. It's that simple.. [ Edited by: cvcgolf 2011-01-14 09:43 ] |
