{"product_id":"mad-about-money-mod-dvd-movie","title":"Mad About Money (MOD) (DVD MOVIE)","description":"Peter Jackson and Roy Harley are two struggling movie producers trying to raise money for a musical using an experimental new color process. Their prayers appear to be answered when they meet Carla de Huelva, a South American heiress who is in reality a simple showgirl pretending to be rich. The boys' dream project begins filming, but sooner or later Carla will have to tell them their movie's budget is non-existent...\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA musical with extravagant set pieces inspired by Busby Berkeley, \u003ci\u003eMad About Money\u003c\/i\u003e features an all-star cast. Lupe Velez was the first Latin-American actress to make it big in Hollywood. Her free-spirited personality was showcased in early hits like \u003ci\u003eHot Pepper\u003c\/i\u003e (1933), \u003ci\u003eStrictly Dynamite\u003c\/i\u003e (1934) and \u003ci\u003eHollywood Party\u003c\/i\u003e (1934), her career reaching its peak with the \u003ci\u003eMexican Spitfire\u003c\/i\u003e series in which she was paired with comedian Leon Errol (1939-1943). Tragically she took her own life in 1944 at the far too young age of 36. Ben Lyon memorably romanced Jean Harlow in Howard Hughes' World War I aviation epic \u003ci\u003eHell's Angels\u003c\/i\u003e (1930). He eventually married Bebe Daniels, and the two moved to Britain where they had a popular radio show. Character actor Wallace Ford is best known for his roles in B-movies including \u003ci\u003eThe Mysterious Mr. Wong\u003c\/i\u003e (1934), \u003ci\u003eThe Ape Man\u003c\/i\u003e (1943) and \u003ci\u003eShe Couldn't Say No\u003c\/i\u003e (1954). Also appearing is silent-era funnyman Harry Langdon in a rare supporting part in a talkie feature. \u003ci\u003eMad About Money\u003c\/i\u003e has two imaginative sequences, one involving a rocket ship and the other featuring ghosts, that are the work of New Zealand animator and experimental filmmaker Len Lye (1901-1980). Much like the film within a film that is the crux of the movie's storyline, \u003ci\u003eMad About Money\u003c\/i\u003e initially premiered utilizing an experimental color process, but the audience responded so badly that black and white prints were struck for its wide release.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"COLOR: #0000ff\"\u003eDVD Details\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u0026gt;Rated:  NR\u003cbr\u003e\u0026gt;Runtime:  1 hours,  14 minutes\u003cbr\u003e\u0026gt;Encoding: Region 1(US \u0026amp; Canada)\u003cbr\u003e\u0026gt;Originally Released:  1\/1\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u0026gt;Label:  Alpha Video\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eStarring: Ben Lyon; Lupe Velez; Wallace Ford; Harry Langdon\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv style=\"BORDER-BOTTOM: blue 3px solid; BORDER-LEFT: blue 3px solid; WIDTH: 675px; HEIGHT:140px; BORDER-TOP: blue 3px solid; BORDER-RIGHT: blue 3px solid\"\u003eThis product is made-on-demand by the manufacturer using DVD-R recordable media.
