In 1993, Award-Winning Casting Director Craig Campobasso did the impossible. He brought the most iconic comedic talent ever to be brought together in one film. Comedic greats like Dom DeLuise, Mel Brooks, Phyllis Diller, John Astin, Larry Storch, and Rip Taylor led a cast including Billy Zane, Charlene Tilton, and Joanna Pacula. Academy Award winners Martin Balsam and Shelley Winters rounded out the lead cast while a treasure trove of famous actors joined in the fun. The film reached cult classic status through the work of the maestro of spoof Ezio Greggio. Greggio, the Robin Williams of Italy, was the film's star, writer, producer, director, and spaghetti cooker. Now, just in time for the 25th Anniversary Blu-ray release comes this scrapbook of behind- the- scenes memories of this once in a lifetime laugh riot.Nothing is sacred in this satire of "Psycho," "The Silence of the Lambs," and other pop culture icons. And no gag is too high brow or low brow. This book takes its readers into the trenches, a place they may never want to leave.
