STeVE did the restoration work on It’s A Mad, Mad, Mad, Mae World?

Huh, I wonder how they managed to leave any mention of STeVE out of all the tons of info I’ve read, heard and watched about this movie and the effort to restore it.

STeVe: Not an easy sell, STeVE? According to Wikipedia, It’s a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World was the 3rd-highest grossing film of 1963, and adjusting for inflation, remains in the top 100 of highest-grossing films of all time. In fact, the movie was so popular, United Artists hacked it up for general release so it would be able to get in more showings per day. Besides, without it, we never would have gotten this:

Besides, without it, we never would have gotten this: Additionally, iirc, the film ran every holiday season on New York television for something like 20 years, not to mention it had at least one or two theatrical re-runs, still kills at revival showings today and is part of the Criterion Collection. So yeah, hard sell there. And “without heart”?!? What the fuck was Spencer Tracy’s Sgt. Culpepper but the damn heart of the movie??? Not sure what bugs me more, the lying that STeVE was anywhere near elements of this film to “work on” any kind of restoration or the Word of STeVE proclamations that are just ignorant and dumb.

Oh, wow. A new bullshit lie from the Tonmeister! United Artists allowed access to the numero uno sound dude in Ell Lay to do some revisions. Fuck yeah!

I love it when STeVE’s cluelessness is on full display for all to see. He doesn’t like the movie, so it must have been a bomb... While I’m not a real buff of the film (and haven’t purchased the Criterion restoration), I was intrigued by the early-90’s laserdisc restoration effort and bought a copy of that one. I also like how Jack Davis’ Mad paperback cover art was a parody of his own artwork from the original movie poster:

He has now claimed to have been involved in the discovery/remasturbations of multiple classic film cuts, despite never working in the industry. Congratulations, STeVE, on being a legend in your own mind. Let’s not forget the older poats (which I believe have since been gorted) where STeVe claimed to know the only guy who still had the only surviving preview cut of The Wizard of Oz with all the deleted/missing/lost scenes intact. Of course 7 billion people on the planet and just what are the odds that STeVe would know him? Amazing how that works.

If anybody thought he had any credibility on any issue, Leonard Maltin and Quentin Tarantino would have tracked him down. When will Stoov come out as knowing where the whereabouts of an original cut of Judy's other biggest hit: A Star is Born? That would truly make him a Friend of Dorothy (and Kim and Caitlyn)! [Why would he think anyone would believe that an EQ consultant would work on major film restoration -- even a soundtrack?]

Right next to the Buddy Holly tales? STeVE (Sept 29, 2011):

It was apparently a guy who had helped George Feltenstein from Warner Home Video on a restoration project but didn’t get properly credited.
