It was a race to the finish...if only they could finish!
Despite frequent similarities to the (in my opinion) far superior 'Great Race' also based on a car race starring Tony Curtis I still have to give this film credit. Some of it is mediocre but then again some of it is hilarious! And with Tony Curtis against the quintissentially english Terry Thomas who is always comical this movie cannot help but be amusing. Curtis and Thomas are each competing in the famous Monte Carlo rally and are both intent on winning, be it through snow, water, mud or any other form! With added comical richness by Peter Cook and Dudley Moore and the lovely Susan Hampshire who captures Tony Curtis's heart, this is a fantastic film to watch if you want to see some of the best 60s actors in action!
Rating 3.5/5
