Movie Reviews of The Great Race
Movie Review: Great Fun!!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
This movie has been around a long time. In fact just about everyone in it has passed away. It does not have the modern special effects that seem to dominate the box office these days, but it is great fun and very entertaining. Tony Curtis is well cast as "The Great Leslie", and Natalie Wood is wonderful as the "liberated heroine". Jack Lemon steals the show with his portrayal of "Professor Fate" the dastardly villain. Peter Falk who plays Fates sidekick Max, also has some hilarious moments. This is old time melodrama at its very best. This movie is a mix of "Around the World in 80 Days", and "The Prisoner of Zenda", but is a lot more fun. One of my favorite scense is the pie fight near the end. Classic comedy. This has to be Blake Edwards' best movie ever.Movie Review: "The Great Race"... 30,000 miles of an amusing race!
Summary: 5 Stars
The unbeatable touch of Blake Edwards and one of the best Comedies of the sixties. "The Great Race" is definitely a melting pot of great talented names of the screen. Exciting and funny scenes along a racing story where one can amuse oneself travelling through a variety of sceneries and a diversity of culture. Sweet Dorothy Provine says (or sings) it all for the good old American Western, while longing Natalie Wood is the modern "emancipated woman" who woudn't miss the chance to reach her goal, it doesn't matter how! The "Good & Evil" represented by Curtis & Lemmon makes us laugh & cheer for.
This is an unmistakable movie among the screen races.
Watch it, relax, laugh and play it again as many times you want... it'll never be too much!
Movie Review: Why Isn't This Classic On Blu-Ray Yet ???
Summary: 5 Stars
during the 1960s a genre which the studios seemed quite fond of was the
large scale action comedy. among the more stellar examples are THOSE MAGNIFICENT
MEN IN THEIR FLYING MACHINES from 20th Century Fox, ITS A MAD MAD MAD MAD WORLD
from United Artists and the best of the bunch THE GREAT RACE from Warner
Bros. now a few years back Warner Bros. Home Video released a dvd pressed from
a brand new digitally restored remastered negative. as anyone who owns said dvd
will atest the picture and sound quality are !!! WOW !!!. so since they have
this new remastered negative it should be fairly easy to burn a blu-ray disc.
so how about it Warner Home Video.
Movie Review: "The Great Race" is Great Sh*t
Summary: 5 Stars
I am not a man of comedy. More specifically, I don't often enjoy comedy because I don't find the jokes in movies to be funny. I generally stay away from comedies for this reason, as well as the fact that I find enough comedy in the world around me."The Great Race" was the funniest movie I've seen since "My Blue Heaven" with Steve Martin. This isn't a movie to be taken seriously whatsoever, as the plot is rather basic, but Jack Lemmon is an amazing actor, playing two eccentric characters in the film.
Some of the wackiest, most "out there" humor I've seen, "Monty Python & the Holy Grail" included. This film is saturday morning cartoons come to life.
Movie Review: Not what you think
Summary: 5 Stars
This movie has been a staple in our family for the past 20 years.
half the fun is booing the villian and cheering the good guy.The comedy is the best ever written. With humor that will keep you watching for many many years to come. We wore out the VCR tape over the years so we got the dvd. My kids have all had their friends watch it and it is fast becoming a CULT film here in the NW. If you dont like music you wont want to watch this but if you enjoy a very funny film that over the years has gotten funner(?) this is the film for you. ANY AGE CAN ENJOY THIS FILM. and you wont belive the pie fight, largest ever done for a movie ..I think this still stands today.
