The Great Race
The sound sync error mentioned in earlier reviews here and elsewhere online were apparently fixed at some point. Specifically, the alternating cheers and boos for Tony Curtis and Jack Lemmon during the opening credits are correctly placed on the copy I just received from Amazon.
DVD Review: The Great Race
Summary: 5 Stars
A classic for all time and all ages. The very best of the 1960 comedies. Jack Lemon is at his comedic best as the dastardly professor and want to be Great Lesley. At the brunt of nearly every laugh it is a performance you will never forget. This classic stands up refreshingly well against today's comedies. While not as sophisticated and smart as today's films it has that timeless old style good/white/clean and noble vs. bad/black/dirty and dishonest. The old style innocence and lavish styling on this movie make it a winner across the board, something for everyone old or young with the pi?ce de r?sistance --- the biggest pie fight ever filmed! A worthy addition to any collection and a sure fire winner when it is rerun night for America's funniest videosDVD Review: Dashing hero, dastardly villain, beautiful lady
Summary: 5 Stars
My family (children and grandchildren) have worn out a VHS of this movie, so I purchased the DVD for my grandkids to enjoy. Natalie Wood is delightful! Delivery service was great - and prompt!DVD Review: We enjoyed this
Summary: 4 Stars
We enjoyed this slapstick humorous adventure of a New York to Paris car race. The story takes place around 1910. The good guy wears white and is all good. The bad guy wears black and is all bad (and amazingly inept). Our kids loved the physical humor: pie fights, falling into the water, crashing into manure. Parents of younger kids might want to preview the movie first; there are a couple of scenes with a fair amount of female skin and a couple of scenes where people are obviously drunk. We felt it was okay because it is about what our kids see when visiting the beach. Overall, we really enjoyed this movie.DVD Review: Cheap Click Case Cover
Summary: 4 Stars
Amazon needs to indicate that this comes in a cheap click case and not a hard case as this matters to some of us choosing to buy this edition of the movie. Should be listed in the "details" of the product.
A Blake Edward's classic...fun,fun,fun! Great cast. 5 stars for the movie..rated the presentation 5 stars because of the case.
Description of The Great Race
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 EdwardsDirector 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
