The Great Race
1965
***½
Director: Blake Edwards
Cast: Jack Lemmon, Tony Curtis, Natalie Wood, Peter Falk, Keenan Wynn, Arthur O'Connell, Vivian Vance

Jack Lemmon and Tony Curtis, the stars of Some Like It Hot, reunite to play two rivalling contentants in a cross-continental car race. This sprawling comedy follows in the footsteps of Around the World in 80 Days. It's long and rambling but funny and exciting, especially for children.
