Drivers have come from all over the world to compete in the annual race at Monte Carlo, Monaco. Sir Cuthbert Ware-Armitage (Terry-Thomas) is a wealthy industrialist who, on the eve of the rally, gambles away half of his company to Chester Schofield (Tony Curtis). Cuthbert proposes that the winner of the race takes everything, which inspires the other drivers, including an English Army duo (Peter Cook, Dudley Moore) and a treasure-smuggling convict (Gert Frobe) to put the pedal to the metal.

Eddie Harrison film-authority.com Tony Curtis looks a tad tired as a leading man, but Moore and Cook seem positively invigorated by their satire of British poshness, and their comedy due score plenty of big laughs in this lavish production... Rated: 3/5 Jan 23, 2024 Full Review Read all reviews

Audience Member The funniest movie with former actor Tony Curtis!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/28/23 Full Review Audience Member good comedy escapism Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/21/23 Full Review Audience Member A childhood fave. Sequel to Those Manificent Men in their Flying Machines, with Dudley Moore, Peter Cook, Terry-Thomas & Tony Curtis. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review Audience Member Huge motor race film with an equally huge cast of international stars. Humour can be patchy but highlights are the ever caddish Terry Thomas with his reluctant henchman Eric Sykes and the hilarious performance of Peter Cook and Dudley Moore. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/15/23 Full Review Audience Member Pete, Dud, Goldfinger, The Great Leslie, Terry Thomas, Eric Sykes and Susan Hampshire enter the Monte Carlo rally, in a sort of remake of a Blake Edwards' "The Great Race" crossed with Monte Carlo Director Ken Annakin's earlier masterpiece, "Those Magnificent Men In Their Flying Machines". Much entertaining skulduggery in the snow ensues. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/15/23 Full Review Audience Member absolute classic!! this is one of my all time favourite films.Tony Curtis, Terry Thomas,Eric Sykes, Dudley Moore...you cant get a better cast!! Would reccommend to everyone young and old!! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/26/23 Full Review Read all reviews
