Product Description
Comedy about an early 20th century car race across three continents. Studio: Warner Home Video Release Date: 08/22/2006 Starring: Jack Lemmon Natalie Wood Run time: 150 minutes Rating: Nr Director: Blake Edwards
Amazon.com
Director Blake Edwards, fresh from the success of the first two Pink Panther movies, indulged his love of classic slapstick comedy with this long free-for-all, which throws in everything but Laurel and Hardy's kitchen sink. The film reunites Some Like It Hot stars Tony Curtis and Jack Lemmon, ably aided by a spunky Natalie Wood. The subject is a New-York-to-Paris auto race in the early years of the 20th century, pitting the Great Leslie (Curtis), a goody-goody dressed all in white--even his teeth sparkle--against the malevolent Professor Fate (Lemmon), whose coal-black heart is reflected in his handlebar mustache. He looks like a bill collector from a silent- movie melodrama. Lemmon does double duty, also playing the pampered, drunken king of a small European country, whose laugh sounds like the wail of a cat in heat. The film may be too long for its own good, and you really have to love Jack Lemmon to put up with his over-the-top performance, but it's side-splitting in spots. It's one of those movies, if seen in childhood, that stays in your mind for years afterward. Some of the bigger routines, such as a pie fight of epic proportions, don't work as well as the simple chemistry between the perpetually exasperated Professor Fate and his much-abused assistant, Max (a terrific Peter Falk). Push the button, Max. --Robert Horton

 great race great entertainment December 2, 2008
If you are light hearted and enjoy being taken away from all of todays complicated problems "The Great Race" will fulfill your desires. I was a big fan of Jack Lemmon thruout his career and feel that his portrayal of the villain Professor Fate was one of his most enjoyable characters although I have never heard this movie as being one of his best efforts. I urge anyone who likes to have pleasant laughter on a continuing basis and still be held to figuring out the ending don"t miss the opportunity to see this film. It is one that you will probably want to view more than once.
 Bad quality October 24, 2008
Love this movie but had to return the DVD because it was of very poor quality. Sound faded in and out and picture quality not up to par. Very disappointed in the product and will try to find it someplace else where I can view it for quality first.
A great Video October 20, 2008
...if you like slapstick. Our colleague does, so he received it as a present. He is very pleased with it.
Wonderful Memories October 9, 2008
I loved this movie growing up. I couldn't find it on DVD for the longest time. When I found this on Amazon, I jumped at the chance. Because it's refinished, the sound is a little lack luster during conversation and quite loud during the musical interludes, but overall, I'm very satisfied with it. Very nastalgic. Now I can share it with my children!
 Great movie, a total classic. October 8, 2008
This movie is one that appeals to many audiences. It took me forever to add it to my movie collection, but I'm so glad now that I did! I wish it had more special features, but with it being as old as it is it makes sense there aren't any.
