Synopsis The movie with thei20,000-mile or one-million-laugh guarantee! Crank your engines! With a roar, sputter and pop (and more Academy Award winning Best Sound Effects), drivers wheel westward in wacky turn-of-the-century autos for a New York-to-Paris race. Ahead lie 20,000 miles, a barroom brawl, a sinkable iceberg, 2,357 pies in the face and incalculable laughs. Black Edwards turns a marvelous cast loose on a round-the-world highway booby-trapped by some of the funniest screen gags ever. Jack Lemmon and Peter Falk are nasty Professor Fate and his dim henchman Max. Tony Curtis is their good-guy nemesis, the Great Leslie. And Natalie Wood is cheroot-puffing suffragette reporter Maggie DuBois. Zestily scored by Henry Mancini and ravishing in a new digital transfer with revitalized digital audio from restored elements, The Great Race is great fun!

Customer Review Great comedy, great price! - 4.75 out of 5  (2/20/2003) Though the movie is 160 min. long, you don't want it to stop near the end. The Lemmon/Curtis second collaboration is even funnier than their SOME LIKE IT HOT, and also a lot superior than director Blake Edward's PINK PANTHER series. Tony Curtis plays his role striaght, opposite to Jack Lemmon's hilariously over-the-top performance. And Tony's sword-fight with Ross Martin is not bad either. Most of all, one should own this DVD simply because it's Henry Mancini's greatest comedy score. I think   more >>
