Professional daredevil and white-suited hero, The Great Leslie, convinces turn-of-the-century auto makers that a race from New York to Paris (westward across America, the Bering Straight and Russia) will help to promote automobile sales. Leslie's arch-rival, the mustached and black-attired Professor Fate vows to beat Leslie to the finish line in a car of Fate's own invention.
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.
In the spotlight of the 60s, as a comedy, this is hard to miss. The Great Race does draw out the most in both Jack Lemmon and Tony Curtis as opposing each other as the snob vs the slob.
Running well over two hours and a half, Blake Edwards manages to cram as many jokes possible into this remarkable film called, The Great Race. The Great Leslie is a dare devil that accepts the challenge of a race against Professor Fate played by the brilliant comedian, Jack Lemmon that goes from New York City, to Paris.
This is one of those comedies that can help you put the smile back on your face.
Styles of acting start out as very cartoon-like for Professor Fate and his assistant, Max. This levitates to a more crazy/dumb style of a villain created that is hard not to like by audiences who enjoy explosions, kicks, falling and everything else in between.
I've been watching this since I was a kid, and every time I watch it, it never fails to be funny.
I was born in 1965 when this movie was first released, perhaps that is one of the reasons I am bonded to it, but it has everything a movie should have: Comedy, action, drama, romance, gadgets, cars, swordfights, pie fights, dopplegangers, clichés, and more! This is one of my all time favorite movies and will watch it over and over. It has a special place in my memories of growing up in Ohio, and often remember Saturdays on UHF 43 the promos and ads for this movie. The shear genius of this cast, the perfect acting preformed by Lemmon. (I remember asking my Mom if Jack Lemmon always had a mustache).
I always rooted for Fate to win, even thou he never did. Even his eventual win at the end was bitter sweet, and even he didn't expect it (as he is used to failing). I loved the adventures they had on the way to Paris and would have loved to seen a "Great Race 2" for the return to New York. I can't imagine a remake of this film, but expect it eventually as Hollywood is running out of ideas. Who could play Leslie or Fate today?
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
