About

Enter the wackiest transcontinental road race ever with Jack Lemmon, Tony Curtis, Natalie Wood, Peter Falk and Keenan Wynn in Blake Edward's Academy Award winning souffle of slapstick comedy supreme.

At the turn of the 20th century, a host of colourful characters set out on a 20,000-mile auto race from New York to Paris, and madcap hilarity ensues - including the biggest custard pie fight ever filmed!
