5 What was Stanley Kramer's best film?
He made a lot of great films, but I'd have to say that It's A Mad Mad Mad Mad World would be his masterpiece....

The film's second act, which shows Hoffman slowly learning to bond with his young son, drags a fair bit with its vignettes that are alternately comical and dramatic (with the latter being much more effective than the former).

Meryl Streep also won an Oscar playing Joanna, the unhappy wife who we feel sympathy for in the beginning of the film but that all changes when she returns for her son.
