By any objective measure, the 1980 comedy film Caddyshack is not very good. But as a guy of a certain age who saw it back in the day or grew up with it due to a father who loved it – it is better than Citizen Kane. Now, nearly 40 years later, film critic Chris Nashawaty explores the making of film to the cult-like status it has attained in the wonderful Caddyshack:The Making of a Hollywood Cinderella Story.
About Caddyshack:The Making of a Hollywood Cinderella Story by Chris Nashawaty:
“In Caddyshack:The Making of a Hollywood Cinderella Story film critic for Entertainment Weekly Chris Nashawaty goes behind the scenes of the iconic film, chronicling the rise of comedy’s greatest deranged minds as they form The National Lampoon, turn the entertainment industry on its head, and ultimately blow up both a golf course and popular culture as we know it. Caddyshack is at once an eye-opening narrative about one of the most interesting, surreal, and dramatic film productions there’s ever been, and a rich portrait of the biggest, and most revolutionary names in Hollywood. So, it’s got that going for it…which is nice.”
