The Great Race (1965)
Directed by Blake Edwards
“The movie with 20,000-miles or one-million-laughs guarantee!”
Comedy, Adventure, Romance · 2h 40m
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.
