Jim reflects on his first viewing of a classic 1972 Sci-Fi – “Slaughterhouse-Five,” based on the novel by Kurt Vonnegut, directed by George Roy Hill and starring Michael Sacks, Valerie Perrine, Rob Leibman, Eugene Roche, Sharon Gans, Holly Near, Perry Ling, Kevin Conway, Sorrell Brooke, and John Dehner. Billy Pilgrim is a mild-mannered man who is “unstuck in time” and facing incredible life experiences while under the watchful eyes of some curious extraterrestrials.

This week on Tales From Hollywoodland, the crew welcomes acclaimed author and film historian James Curtis to discuss his new book, Comedy Is a Grim Business: The Making of It’s a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World, an inside look at the creation of one of cinema’s most beloved comedy classics.

James Curtis takes us behind the scenes of this ambitious Hollywood production, exploring the challenges of assembling its all-star cast, the creative decisions that shaped the film, and the remarkable personalities who brought this comedy masterpiece to life.

From the golden age of Hollywood comedy to the larger-than-life personalities who defined an era, this episode celebrates the art of making audiences laugh while revealing why creating great comedy is often anything but funny!

Join the Tales From Hollywoodland crew for a fascinating conversation with James Curtis about his latest book, the legacy of Stanley Kramer, and the making of It’s a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World.
