Peter Falk, Keenan Wynn, Arthur O'Connell,

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.
