Genre: Comedy
aka: Those Daring Young Men in Their Jaunty Jalopies
Director: Ken Annakin
Cast: Tony Curtis, Susan Hampshire, Terry-Thomas, Gert Frobe, Peer Schmidt, Peter Cook, Dudley Moore, Walter Chiari, Jack Hawkins, Eric Sykes
This is a fun adventure of a 1920s race from London to Monte Carlo. Often slapstick with a few bits that aren't too funny, it is still a good no-brainer of the same mold as "The Great Race," "Those Magnificent Men in Their Flying Machines," etc.
