520    "In the summer of 1980, a group of authority-defying 
       comedy geniuses from Saturday Night Live, the Second City 
       improv troupe, and the National Lampoon magazine created 
       the funniest sports movie ever made. Maybe the funniest 
       movie ever made, period. This timeless snobs-versus-slobs 
       story of working-class kids and the white-collar buffoons 
       who make them carry their golf bags in the hot summer sun 
       has sex, drugs, and one very memorable candy bar. But the 
       movie we all know and love as a benchmark of comedic film 
       didn't start that way, and everyone who made it certainly 
       didn't have the word "classic" in mind as the cameras were
       rolling. The story of Caddyshack began, improbably, at 
       Harvard University, when three editors of The Harvard 
       Lampoon (Doug Kenney, Rob Hoffman, and Henry Beard) 
       decided to unleash their revolutionary humor on the world 
       at large and publish the National Lampoon. The magazine 
       quickly became a cultural juggernaut, expanding from page 
       to stage and attracting the talents of John Belushi, Chevy
       Chase, Gilda Radner, and Bill Murray. Together, they set 
       American popular culture on fire, and the Lampoon team 
       quickly turned to film. After Animal House became a box 
       office blockbuster, the brilliant and drug-addled minds of
       the Lampoon turned their focus on a story from Bill and 
       Brian Doyle-Murray's childhood summers spent working at 
       Chicago country clubs. The making of Caddyshack turned out
       to be even crazier and funnier than the film, as this 
       ragtag group of party animal filmmakers descended on a 
       Florida country club to shoot the movie over three very 
       memorable months. In [this book], Chris Nashawaty, film 
       critic for Entertainment Weekly, goes behind the scenes of
       the iconic film, chronicling the rise of comedy's greatest
       deranged minds as they turn the entertainment industry on 
       its head and ultimately blow up both a golf course and 
       popular culture as we know it. So, it's got that going for
       it ... which is nice."--Dust jacket.
