The
movie with the 20,000-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!
