Now that’s funny. Federico would likely have been furious, but from what I’ve read, his wife Giulietta would have kidded him out of it.

Mad Mad World, my first thought also. Jimmy Durante- 350g’s buried under a big double ya, 350 g’s I tell YA!

I met a man who’s grandfather used to live in my rural neighborhood. He said grandpa had bunches of metal pipes thrown around his yard. He was playing with them one day, and grandpa yelled at him to leave them alone. His grandpa picked one up, opened the cap on the end and showed him it was filled with coins.

Grandpa died, and since this man was estranged from the family, they never heard the story about the pipes. They all went to the dump.

‘Dude just wanted to see how much of the known 48 million they’d waste looking for an additional 4 million.

Wherever Edward Giaimo Jr. is, he is laughing his arse off at his stupid, greedy relatives who fell for his phony story about hidden treasure.

[Flick Lives]

Buried treasure?

[Travis McGee]

He probably told them just to torture them.

Sounds like a great basis for a movie plot.

How very sad, though. Their brother is gone, and they are at each other’s throats over money.

exactly! look for the big “W”.
that was the last thing the three stooges was in

[WomBom]

I love... LOVE that movie!

“And a garage full of booze, cigarettes, ammunition and guns...”

Sounds a lot like our guest room.

The best collection of comedic talent possibly ever.

[camle]

oh yeah! buddy hacket trying to fly an airplane! best facial acting ever!

Sadly, the movie was paired down for theaters and with time the full uncut film was lost. I believe 20-30 minutes of footage and plot is gone forever. Only the standard cut is around.

figures... columbo as a cab driver. that must have been one of his first gigs

[dfwgator]

It’s a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad, World......

My first thought.

I wonder if this is another hoax—or a great joke played on his heirs by the deceased.

I saw something going around the internet emails this week that showed a dying man saying, “I left a million dollars hidden in the...aaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhh.”
