The hunt is on and it’s a rib-tickling shot to the funny bone as a mind-boggling all-star cast competes against each other in a hilarious $200 million race against time! The will of the dearly-departed eccentric game inventor Milton Parker (Vincent Price) is specific: his fifteen would-be heirs are to participate in a highly unusual scavenger hunt, winner take all. It’s a wild dash through the San Diego Zoo, the streets of Hollywood and the mad, mad, mad, mad world of Southern California. Absolutely filled to the brim with that-guys and what’s-her-names, Scavenger Hunt is a veritable clown car of crazed character actors and kooky cameos, legendary stars and those long forgotten, a window into who was hot on tv, on screen and on stage in 1979: Richard Benjamin, Scatman Crothers, Ruth Gordon, Cloris Leachman, Cleavon Little, Roddy McDowall, Tony Randall, a young Arnold Schwarzenegger and many, many, many more. After our own years-long search we’ve finally located a 35mm print of this rollicking rarity!
