About this movie

Spencer Tracy leads a hilariously zany cast that stars Hollywood's greatest comedians (Milton Berle, Sid Caesar, Buddy Hackett, Ethel Merman, Mickey Rooney, Dick Shawn, Phil Silvers, Terry-Thomas and Jonathan Winters) and features cameo appearances by every joker and jester in the business, from Don Knotts and Jerry Lewis to The Three Stooges. Nominated for 6 Oscars®, director Stanley Kramer's classic comedy is "a wonderfully crazy and colorful 'chase' comedy" (The New York Times)! On a winding desert highway, eight vacation-bound motorists share an experience that alters their plans...and their lives! After a mysterious stranger (Jimmy Durante) divulges the location of a stolen fortune, they each speed off in a mind-bending, car-bashing race for the loot -- and the most side-splitting laugh-fest in history.

Ratings and reviews

Brilliant comedy that use to be on the TV every Christmas Day! 🎄 I love technology but would give it all up for the peaceful non-complicated life of the 50's I wasn't born back then but it looks so peaceful & I would of loved to of gone to Woodstock in 1969 just imagine over 2½ million children at a concert, not set up for more than 45,000 but they fed them for 3 days didn't charge them a penny Army brought in tents for them & not one arrest all those children together & not one fight ❤️ LOVE
