THE GREAT RACE (1965) Dedicated to Laurel and Hardy, Blake Edwards' The Great Race is an old school, wacky-slapstick transcontinental road race which takes place in 1920. "The Great" Leslie convinces a group of innovative automakers that a race from New York to Paris will skyrocket automobile sales. Of course, Leslie's nemesis, "Professor Fate," promises to beat Leslie at his own game. Hilarity ensues as the various competitors compete in the long trek, trying to gain the advantage, sometimes using whatever means possible, not always in the best spirit of competition.
The frothy cast includes: Tony Curtis, Natalie Wood, Jack Lemmon, Peter Falk, Keenan Wynn, Larry Storch, Dorothy Provine, Arthur O' Connell, Vivian Vance, Ross Martin, and George Macready. Director Blake Edwards' "The Great Race" is a long, but thoroughly entertaining classic screen comedy.
