- In the early twentieth century, the Great Leslie - daredevil and all 'round Renaissance man always clad in white - has several world records to his name in daring feats of courage, always with the faithful Hezekiah by his side. Leslie's arch enemy is the dastardly Professor Fate - always clad in black - who is always trying either to outdo Leslie or thwart Leslie's attempts of daring, without success. Leslie suggests to the Webber Motor Car Company that they show their engineering expertise by building the supreme motor car for a New York to Paris race, that car which they ultimately name the Leslie Special after their inspiration. Not to be outdone, Fate, with his equally dastardly sidekick Max, also enters the race with what he considers his motor car masterpiece, the Hannibal Twin-8. Nothing is too dastardly an act in Fate's goal of winning. One of the other entries is the beautiful Maggie Dubois, a reporter covering the race for the New York Sentinel newspaper. An emancipated woman, Maggie initially tried to convince both Leslie and Fate to use her as their driving partner, both who refused, considering her among the weaker sex. Maggie however convinced the newspaper both to hire her and to sponsor their own car with her as the driver based on the internal struggle within the newspaper's ownership, which is similar to Maggie's own struggles. Maggie expects to win: in her logic, she is covering the entire race (which she does with the use of some primitive but effective technology), meaning she needs to be first at the finish line. Despite being emancipated, Maggie is not averse to using her feminine wiles to her advantage. Through the race, they come across a few adventures and obstacles. But being a long race with much interaction between the racers, their mindsets and priorities may change based on their time together.
- A grand adventurous race takes place between the heroic Leslie and the despicable Professor Fate across three continents.
- The Great Race is a good-looking,feasting and spectacularly festive movie, made with liveliness and taste.Its pace is flawless.This luscious movie benefits a lot from its luminaries (Lemmon and the lucent Mrs. Wood).It has all the means it needs:Mancini's apt score,a bright bit part for Mrs. Dorothy Provine ,and Mrs. Wood was a fair comedy actress;she brings merriment and sprightly charm . Moreover,her keen, quick mirth seasons every scene she's in. Mrs. Wood was so lively and amusing.I would like her relation with Professor Fate (after she is kidnapped by him) was deepened and detailed .<br/><br/>The movie is right in concentrating upon only 5 participants in the race,leaving aside all rubbish characters.Even so,it has more than enough comical substance for its length.<br/><br/>The crazy Professor Fate gnashes savagely his teeth and grins.Lemmon puts a drop of madness in many of his (great) roles.This is a midsummer role for Lemmon.He was lusty,energetic,agile,he dressed very loudly.<br/><br/>The Great Race is a movie for those who luxuriate on choice movies.<br/><br/>It was a well-inspired idea to make a movie that uses simultaneously: (1) a purely mechanical comic;(2)and very creative,large-hearted actors .The contrast is charming.<br/><br/>IMDb says it should run for 160 min .The version I saw and recorded is a 140' one.
- I love this movie. I was fortunate to see it when it was first released and on a genuine big screen ( not multi-theater size ). Great fun , from a more innocent time in movie making. It does seem to be a love it or hate it movie with no in-between. Fine comedy performances from all of the cast with Jack Lemmon in outstanding form , ably assisted by Peter Falk. Enormous sumptuous visuals , great music score and the biggest pie fight I have ever seen. Natalie wood seems to have a new outfit for every scene. If you spot the video rent it but it does lose something on a small T.V screen.
- Yes. The movie was inspired by an actual New York to Paris road race known as "The Great Auto Race of 1908" that began in Times Square on February 12, 1908. There were six cars entered representing 4 countries- The United States, Germany, France, and Italy. The actual race took 169 days and The United States won. As far as being historically accurate, Director Blake Edwards primarily used only the time period (1908) and a rough approximation of the race route for "The Great Race" movie. Most of the other memorable elements from the film- the zany over-the-top characters, the many fantastic vehicles and gadgets, and incidents such as crossing the ocean on an ice floe and the gigantic pie fight- were products of Edward's fertile imagination. Yes and no. Although Blake Edwards and Warner Bros. were never involved in producing a "Great Race" cartoon series, Hanna-Barbera Productions did produce a Saturday morning cartoon series called "Wacky Races" that ran from 1968 to 1970. This cartoon series was inspired by and borrowed heavily from "The Great Race" film, and even featured characters that strongly resembled those in the movie in both appearance and personality- in particular, "Penelope Pitstop" (based on Natalie Wood's "Maggie Dubois") "Peter Perfect" (based on Tony Curtis' "Great Leslie"), and "Dick Dastardly and Muttley" (based on Jack Lemmon's "Professor Fate" and Peter Falk's "Max", respectively). "The Leslie Special" and "The Hannibal Twin 8" cars were custom built for the movie and were fully driveable. As is often the standard procedure for movie and television productions, multiple versions of each were produced, including at least 2 "Leslie Specials" and at least 5 "Hannibal Twin 8's". As of April, 2014, one of "The Leslie Special's" can be seen in The Tupelo Auto Museum in Tupelo, Mississippi, and one of the "Hannibal Twin 8" cars (along with Professor Fate's lake torpedo) can be seen in The Hollywood Gallery of The Peterson Auto Museum in Los Angeles, California. In addition, both a "Leslie Special and a "Hannibal Twin 8" can also be seen at the Stahls Automotive Foundation Museum in Chesterfield, Michigan. a5c7b9f00b
