This slapstick comedy concerns the annual auto race in Monte Carlo and boasts an international cast of all-star thespians.

When Chester (Tony Curtis) wins half of the car company in a card game with the villain, a winner-take-all, race is proposed. Bourvil, Dudley Moore and Jack Hawkins also appear in this lighthearted comedy. Jimmy Durante sings the title tune of this pic that features several exciting stunt-driving scenes that ensue between the beginning and end of the international racing competition. The film is an obvious take off of Those Magnificent Men And Their Flying Machines but fails to live up to the quality of it's predecessor. ~ Dan Pavlides, Rovi

    One of my favourite films of all time, Ken Annakin's comedy classic has one of the best casts ever and includes one of my favourite end sequences of all time. Brilliant!

    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.
