Review of The Great Race (1965) by Movie K — 26 Jul 2016
This movie is quite long duration and also inspire the cartoon Wacky Races. Tony Curtis is The Great Leslie along with his good friend Keenan Wynn, broke many records with traveling craft. Nemesis Jack Lemmon and bumbling assistant Peter Falk always try to sabotage Tony but end up messing his own self.
Natalie Wood is a reporter who fight for feminist. The 3 of them contest in a race that takes them to several places in the world. Along the way Natalie car is down and she ride with Tony. She manage to handcuff Keenan to a train and convince Tony he is leaving.
He gradually fall in love for her. In the small kingdom, the blur and drunk king resemble Jack and he impersonate him while in jail. Peter gather Tony to save him and the scheme is unleash. There's the big pie fight and they all resume the race.
About to win the race, Tony stop right in front the line and kiss Natalie to prove his love. Jack cross the line and win. Then got angry again feeling Tony give it to him since he should have win easily.
Jack demand another race again which Tony accept. Jack let him have the start and he wanted to blow his car with his in-build cannon, but the Eiffel Tower collapse instead..
