Movie Reviews of The Great Race
Movie Review: The Great Trace!
Summary: 5 Stars
When I hadn't received my copy of "The Great Race" neary three weeks after purchasing it, I contacted the seller via e-mail inquiring as to the status of its delivery. The vendor told me that it had been shipped nearly two weeks earlier and then, without hesitating, offered to send me another copy they had in stock, which I received a few days later. I was very grateful for their professionalism and for caring about me as a customer. Although this experience makes me a little nervous about having items shipped via regular mail, the response from this seller makes me feel reassured. I hope all the sellers at Amazon are as cool about it. Thank you again!Movie Review: Jack Lemon and Tony Curtis at their Best
Summary: 5 Stars
Lemon and Curtis are a great team - "Some Like It Hot" and "The Great Race." In this movie we have great melodrama and the ageless story of boy meets girl (Natalie Wood) and she catches him. The star-studded cast is enhanced by the superb acting of Peter Falk in one of his great comic roles, the hapless Maximillian always catching the short end of the stick by his perpetually out-of-sorts boss, the permanently crabby Professor Fate (Lemon). Curtis does what he does best - looks dashing and debonoir in a role so familiar to him he could phone it in. This DVD is a collector and one of my all-time top ten favorites.Movie Review: A delightful classic that endures year after year...
Summary: 5 Stars
The Great Race is one of those great Hollywood spectacles that defines the great American movie. I've been able to watch it year after year and still been greatly entertained. The performances are campy and delightful. The lavish sets and wonderful score by Henry Mancini create a wonderful mood for this cheerful romp across the globe. This is what Hollywood used to be all about - dazzling Technicolor, gorgeous costuming with a sprinkling of song and big-name stars. No silly computer generated this or that. Real actors, real sets and locations.This classic comedy is a must-have for REAL entertainment...
Movie Review: Classic that still holds today
Summary: 5 Stars
I saw this film first when I was a kid, back in the 60's. And I liked it very much then, and still do.
It is fun, great actors, good story. And a kind of film you can see over and over again, even if you know exactly what will come.
Now I have kids of my own, they are 14 and 12 today, and we have seen this film since they where very young, on a old VHS recorded from TV
I was very happy when I found it on DVD.
I will certainly recommend this film to others. It is a bit of conrtrast to todays modern movies.
See it!
Movie Review: question about the dvd sound
Summary: 5 Stars
Love the movie, but don't yet own the dvd. I've read some reviews saying the picture and sound on the dvd are great BUT a number of other reviews say some sound effects in the first reel are out of sync ("boos" for Leslie and "cheers" for Fate) and also that the dialogue is barely audible for the first twenty minutes.Which is it?
Are there some defective dvd copies and some good ones? If anyone has a dvd with correct sound sync in the opening titles, please mention it here so I know I can purchase a copy and have a chance to get the right audio. Thanks!
