The Great Race (1965)


THE GREAT RACE  (1965)  
¢ 1/2
    D: Blake Edwards
    Tony Curtis, Jack Lemmon, Natalie Wood,
    Peter Falk, Keenan Wynn, Arthur O'Connell,
    Ross Martin, Larry Storch, Dorothy Provine,
    Marvin Kaplan, Denver Pyle, Vivian Vance
A big, long, unfunny slapstick comedy, really a live-action cartoon, about an around-the-world auto race. Blake Edwards at his most extravagant and pointless. The pie fight's good, though. It comes at about the 140-minute mark. You could just skip to the pie fight.
