The Great Race	comment	The Great Race is a 1965 epic comedy film about a car race around the world, directed by Blake Edwards and starring Tony Curtis, Jack Lemmon, Natalie Wood, Peter Falk, Keenan Wynn and Ross Martin. Edith Head designed Wood's wardrobe, and Henry Mancini composed the music score.The film is (very) loosely based on the Real Life 1908 New York-to-Paris automobile race. The protagonist is The Great Leslie (Curtis), a dashing and wealthy daredevil known for setting speed records and other dangerous stunts. His evil nemesis Professor Fate (Lemmon) and Fate's sidekick Max (Falk) try to outdo him, but always fail hilariously.When Leslie enters a westward race from New York to Paris to promote a new car, Professor Fate promptly joins the race as well, hoping to finally defeat his hated rival. Photojournalist and suffragette Maggie DuBois (Wood), intent on covering the story, enters the race too. Shortly after the start, Fate's dirty tricks eliminate all contestants except himself, Leslie and Maggie. Later on, Maggie's car breaks down and she is forced to ride with Leslie... and not too long after that, Leslie's mechanic Hezekiah Sturdy (Wynn) gets "conveniently" sidetracked. Should anyone be surprised that a relationship starts forming between the two of them?The Great Race contains many homages to silent movie-era slapstick and visual gags and parodies. While not a big success in its own time it has since become something of a Cult Classic. It was also a major influence on the cartoon series Wacky Races.Not to be confused with H. P. Lovecraft's Starfish Aliens, or the Thomas & Friends movie from 2016.

The Great Race / int_acecb17d	comment	Chekhov's Skill The film early on sets Leslie up to be a master swordsman. Baron Von Stuppe as well is introduced as being a proficient duelist. A duel is imminent. Maggie mentions in passing her ability to speak, read and write in Russian, French and Arabic. Much later she, the Professor, and Max end up in Russia and the two men are both comically unable to get anything whatsoever across to the stoic populace until Maggie intervenes.

The Great Race / int_ae5a26f2	comment	Escalating Brawl In the town of Borracho, a fight between The Great Leslie and Texas Jack quickly turns into an all-out Bar Brawl. The pie fight scene in develops this way; people walk in to the bakery, see what's going on, get hit by a missile intended for someone else and join the scrum—except, of course, for The Great Leslie, who walks through the crossfire unscathed until Maggie gets him in the face at close quarters purely by accident. Obviously, this is Played for Laughs.

Instead, Fate bounces up several feet, Max drives away and he falls right down an open manhole. After Baron von Stuppe realizes that Leslie has defeated him, he says that he has a boat waiting, adds a We Will Meet Again, and jumps out the window into the lake. Unfortunately for him, his escape boat is small, wooden, and located right under the window, so he smashes through the boat and sinks it.
