In 1965, when I was a kid, we went to Los Angeles for a vacation, and I remember that the premiere of “The Great Race” happened while we were there. I saw the movie at that time, and, at 12 years old, I thought it was hilarious. I hope I still find it funny when I watch it tonight.
I still love it. It’s clean(at least relative to today’s comedies) fun, silly and slapsticky. Don’t expect subtlety. I love it and the similarly themed “It’s A Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World” from the same time period.
After you watch it, please let us know what you thought of it as an adult.
