  • the machines in this movie actually flew (i believe) risking all for the art

  • Yeah, I remember reading that. Interesting story, the machine that the French guy uses was so small and had such a small engine, none of the stuntmen could fly it; they were too heavy for it to take off. It could only be flown by this one woman who was just light enough.

  • you forgot to mention Terry-Thomas was in all three Its a Mad World, Those Magnificent Men, and Those Daring Young Men in their Jaunty Jalopies

  • A father took this boy to see the movie and later he taught a young man to fly. It was certain result of minds over matters.

  • I LOVE the random references to Monty Python, Rat Race, Blackadder... :D

  • I wish you would make more reviews like this one. They are intelligent, funny, and very entertaining.

  • Oh come on Marnie is realy a good one and Gigi isn´t that bad... btw are you Ian???

  • Anything can be solved with explosions. EVERYTHING.

  • Terry, Gert, and Benny among my favorite Comedians. I don't remember the movie.

  • Marnie = Bad??

  • Terry Thomas and Red Skeleton were the only decent bits in this otherwise dull movie. There was too much preracing and not enough racing! Cannonball Run had its prerace moment but not as long as this movie does.

  • Ahh - Terry Thomas - the ultimate movie cad and bounder... they just don't make great movies like this this anymore...
