Jonathan Winters sent Phil Silvers to the hospital with his assault in that scene.

And Edie Adams was a feast for the eyes! I still remember her cigar commercials! “Why don’t you pick one up and S-s-s-moke it some time!”

Mine didn’t want us to (I got my first issue in the 70s while visiting a college bookstore as part of a summer school program for grade schoolers at the local college).

Then a couple of years of reading the paperbacks from the local library and buying the paperbacks at bookstores and newsstands. It was all downhill for me from there!

My parents subscribed to Mad! They enjoyed it along with the kids.

And there was the Mad satire of the movie...

“It’s a World, World, World, World, Mad”

Yes! This the scene I will always remember. Jonathan Winters destroying a garage.

I think of this move every time I drive CA 74, Palms to Pines Highway above Palm Desert. Smiler’s Point is at mile marker 88.

I’m on the pch below the incline, did they take them down? I see all the palms on top, I didn’t realize they cut it down. Look how much changed from the time that movie was filmed.

What I noticed was that everything was greener. Gives lie to 'Global Warming' devastation.
