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.
