N L @RT67044741 Oct 30, 2023 this movie is a serious laff and a half See more isla s @RT89656869 Sep 2, 2022 This film features numerous quirky characters, plenty of visual, slapstick, madcap style comedy. After you watch this, you may find yourself humming either the theme tune, or 'frere jacques', the tune to which is played multiple times. I liked the arguments had between the rather pompous English/Brits and the American contestants and, of course, there's a romantic angle with one of the female characters and a somewhat rough and ready, almost cowboy type American. It was amusing enough to hear an English competitor utter 'you....dirty rotter!'. It has quite a jolly feel, with the instrumental pieces played while we watch various competitors trying to come in first place. Its not at all a rude or offensive film, which is nice - it dates from the mid 1960s I believe and its set in 1910, for reference. I would recommend this film for anyone keen on a period comedy drama thats suitable for family viewing.

See more Mar 26, 2015 Bloated inferior version of The Great Race which could have done with some muscular editing. Redeeming feature is Terry Thomas's performance otherwise nothing special. Drat and double drat! See more Read all reviews
